I remember it well I used to be dragged in with my ma and dad, I remember Sammy Osbourne and a woman called Phyllis,
and a guy I think worked in the Telegraph think he was called Poncho(nick name I presume)

That would have been Pancho. He was a larger-than-life character ... looked a bit like a Celtic warrior. He worked in the Tele's process department.
Pancho was a wild man when he had the drink on him. I can hear him now saying to me: "Away on wi' ye, ye big balloon man, ye."
By the way, I think that was the Bob Young 'corner'.

'Fraid not. I would have been in my late teens then, and didn't drink in the Horse that often.

Oh yes I had happy times in the Brown Horse. In the early 70's we lived opposite Sam Casey's daughter Anne mcgrattan and her family. Lovely family. Sadly Anne was Murdered at the Casey bottling depot. The funeral was attended by hundreds of mourners. They were very well respected and a sad loss to their communities. Michael
