[Chili Palmer]

my dad bought me a Liverpool teddy when I was a kid and his name was Scully. my daughter has it now.

 

(I still give it a cuddle when I see it in her room...ahem...I'm going to stop typing now)

Was at that game and The Kop did indeed sing his name.

 

Some of my family were in St Columba's where Bleasdale taught and reckoned they knew who the characters were based on. Centred around a family called...wait for it...Cully, who lived in Huyton. Mooey was some softlad who used to follow the other kids to town, or the match, or wherever they were going even though he had bricks thrown at him and was always told to eff off. He'd follow them at a safe distance and sometimes catch them up and carry on like nothing had happened, til he'd get on someone's nerves and get told to eff off again.

Not sure I would be able to tell the difference between the Sammy Lee of '85 and today.

[Billy Talbot]

Why's he called Isiah?

[muleskinner]

Was there a 1 armed caretaker/janitor character called the Wingy who used to b****** them for playing football were they shouldn't? I'm convinced there is, going to have buy the dvd to find out.

[pt101]

I like the bit where Mooey is forced to sing 'Light My Fire' under duress (lighter flame at the poor sod's head).

 

Anyone here remember a series called One Summer? Think it was a channel 4 series around the same time.

[alias75]

To be fair we've had worse number 7's

In 1984, Liverpool was so often seen and heard, at its most depressed period in history, think of all the scouse voices you would hear on TV back then, tv, film, music. Took it for granted as a child.

[meredithmathieson]

You can order 'Scully', 'One Summer' etc on Amazon.

 

Brings back memories.

 

 

I like the way Nando talks about the obvious awe in which King Kenny is held even today.

there was, and caracas....

 

they get b******ed for playing footy in the gym, but the teacher Steve (ex Blackburn player)...the janitor is carrying a mop over his shoulder....and the door flies open and it smashes it

I've just had to ring our Julie to discuss this; she lives in Wiltshire now. Anyway, she was taught by Alan Bleasdale at St. Columba's and I distictly remember her stories at the time of Scully and Mooey who were two of her class mates. She says the family weren't called Cully though but Schofield and that's where the Scully name comes from. A punishment awaited any kid who wasn't fast enough to get a seat elsewhere in the class or canteen and that was they'd have to sit next to Mooey as his personal hygiene left a lot to be desired.

[anny road]

my fave bit is when Mooey is going on to Scully and the girl he fancied about playing football in school....

 

then scully says something like

 

"Can I go to your school, Moo...it sounds like a right laugh"

 

mooey says

 

"erm, I'll ask the driver Scull...he sometimes lets Albi Browns mum on to go shoppin'"

[melia]

Does anyone remember "Rocky O'Rourke"?
