Lovely! My Mom reckons she met my Dad exactly 50 years ago tonight. In a nightclub in Brum. That's pretty cool! What a lovely story, especially as it coincides with your 50th birthday.

Dad seemed to think it was over 3 floors. A quick look online seems to suggest its the building where Brewdog is now. I remember Pagoda Park was over many floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 Ray Graydon is 75 today. I’ve seen him play. Or at least, if I had bothered to watch him play I’d have been better off. My dad took me to a game when I was really too young to be watching 90 minutes, so, I occupied myself by seeing how many matchsticks I could pick up and hold in one hand. Brilliant game, wander about, find a match, shove it in the palm of your building matches hand. I was doing really well. Then all the men around me watching the game all sort of moved out of the way, all took a step to the side. So I turned around and looked up to see what was happening. A Ray Graydon shot hit me square in the middle of the face. Down like I’d been shot, matches everywhere, blokes laughing their heads off. He saw what happened and jogged over to laugh, apologise, and make sure I wasn’t dead. Happy happy times. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too long ago to truly remember anything beyond being made a right fuss of and being held aloft by a bunch of blokes to show him what he’d done! According to legend, it wasn’t my dad that held me up and demanded an apology, he melted in to the crowd embarrassed by my wailing. It was just a random bunch of Brummies. Proper 1970’s parenting, never did me any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
