DeleteWho you calling fact i had more highers rest Huns all together .also im at least still here
DeleteDundee class.
ReplyDeleteI preferred the nearby graffitti that declared "PC STING IS A BASTARD"
ReplyDeleteits no there ni mair
ReplyDeleteThat's a great image for the hull archive. No facebook / MSN / Txt message threats here, proper word on the street BEWARE. I like it. Says what it does on the tin. The question is, was it more dangerous walking down that part of the Hull then (77-83?) or now...
ReplyDeleteJennys chinkies, 3am , Handy taxis, waitin we a cup oh hot chocolate, "whar yi goin mate ? " oh oh !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's Inspector Sting (retired)is a bastard ........ to you sonny.
ReplyDeleteJack Reagan

ReplyDeletelesley g..
on second thoughts its no me at all its erm... Fanta !!
(phew, got oot o that one quick)
That's Inspector Sting (retired)is a bastard ........ to you sonny.
ReplyDeleteJack Reagan
It was proclaimed a very long time ago...........and pray tell why did he retire ?(I know the reason,do you?)..it was nothing to do with time up!!!
More dangerous back in the day if you were in your teens / 20's and it was late at night or after the football for sure. More dangerous now though if you are a Pensioner thanks to junkie muggers.
ReplyDeleteCan't recall if we were in a chipper or a taxi rank, but one night inside some premises up the Hulltoon in the mid 70's, this drunken yobbo came in and started mouthing off. He was becoming a real pain but we all tried to ignore him. He then started to get a bit aggressive. Pointing at my mate he shouted "Hey you - kiss my feet!". This was repeated 2 or 3 times until my mate lost patience with him and replied "Tell ye what mate - you kiss my feet", and with a speedy powerful upright kick to the yobbo's kisser, knocked him out cold. Little did the guy know my mate was a Brown Belt in Karate at the time!
ReplyDeletethese scrawlings wouldve been made by what I would regard as the tiny hulltoon or maybe even their prodgeny, the likes of muff, jed jackson, larry devlin etc couldnt write too well it does say something about the education system getting better.
ReplyDeletem.rolfe
did jed jackson live bottom of haldane avenue
Deletewrong there m8 see above
DeleteI like the fact they've used a hyphen between Hulltoon and Huns, it's just ripe for a .com to be added. Huns ahead of their time? Maybe so...
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to book your 'kicking' for tonight on the Hilltown, please select your time preference and date of attack ..

Are they not the NI students who live in 'campusview' and shine laser pointers at cars comin down the Blackie and Hunters St trying to make them crash ? sounds about right.

ReplyDeleteI remember the CARROLL Brothers BILLY and Gary, they were feared on the HUllTOON.. Billy led the Huns off numerous times, The young one, was a bad man with a Blade and ended up doing years in the Prison... I was told he went over the world as a Mercenary, Shooting People....

Deletepmsl the way things are twisted lol.. gary and billy caroll were indeed poley not hulltoon, larry devlin hung himself in the jail but marnie jumped from bridge,sting left police due to heart condition... hulla who? hulla baloo.. remember guys toth rule lol
ReplyDeleteI met Steve 'Sting' Miller playing golf at carnoustie. He was a sound guy with a load of great stories about his hulltoon days. He laughed when I mentioned the sting is a bastard grafitti. He spoke with real affection about ralphy, bellso, gander ronni penman and the marnie bros. Said he tried to get them to play golf but they were scared what the others might say. He shared his chocolate biscuits with me on the course and bought me soup and a roll after the game. Said he retired after 34 yrs with a medical condition, but was running a five a side comp for young unemployed in hulltoon through a church group. I ended up really liking him, he can really play golf and his wife picked him up and she was much younger than him and a bit if a honey.
Deletethey were all his grasses
Deletethat's true but no gander
DeleteWhat the fuck would you know 😢Ronnie died young so did the Marnie brothers 😢all had done jail time and not one a fkn grass wanker 👹💥💥💥GTC ex polepark lad and in the Huns 🖤💚 from 14 years of age wow some people say anything eh sad cunts

ReplyDeletebenny hassen in du ndee ??
ReplyDeleteSo many memories reading this, my childhood comes flooding back. I remember Gander the Mexican guy though he spoke with a Dundee accent, shocked to hear he was a sex offender. He used to sit and tell us stories at the seahorse about how he was the leader of the huns and picked the gang colours. Sad to think the HH was started by a nonce.
ReplyDeletegander was a story teller he would have been 8/9 when the hulltoo n picked there colours back in early 70s always found him to be ok tho nvr a buĺly
