My brothers band The Androids played there in the late 70s At the end of the gig the bouncers used to play a game which involved chucking the furniture at each other (and at the band and it’s entourage) . “Duck!” They thought it funny. They also used to enjoy chucking troublemakers down the stairs - amazing no one got killed. Fire island was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the early 70's stuff from the start of the thread, but now you are talking here. Absolutely brilliant. Love the Busby stuff. The Jesus saves but Busby... I remember this vividly now. These plain white, badges were all the rage for a while as well. Pretty sure I have some programs in the attic, but seeing this makes me wish I had the foresight to hold onto this kind of stuff. The Willie Ormond badge is something else. Did he not appear on TV with a Hibs strip on during a Hibs cup final late 70's, whilst he was still managing us. Perhaps that is just a modern myth...

You wore them with huge turn-ups to the top of your docs. Add in maroon laces and braces and a hand made "Arthur Black" shirt (choose your own style and colours) and that was me in 1972.

undisputed truth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The TBM (Tolly Beach Mafia) had mair than 5 members and I cant remember ever having a dug as a member (unless you count a few of the birds that used to hing aboot with us) the Y=HOH were closely associated with another gang from that area called Y-MASS (Young Mental Amsterdam Shotgun Squad) TCR (Tollcross Rebels) Lochend Shamrock, Piershill Fleet, just a few of the smaller but equally malevolent gangs from my youth, the biggest were the YLT, YMD, and there was a group of Hells Angels from Granton/Pilton called El Diablos.....oh the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
