I was sat in New Inn (Hedon Road) when I was tapped on my shoulder and asked if I wanted to buy some pork sausages and streaky bacon.
It was Pete 'Flash' Flanagan.
I hadn't seen him for years. He use to work with my father and he remembered me from my time at Rovers as a ball boy and colts player. We had a few drinks reminiscing. . .but I didn't buy the sausages and bacon!'"
Just after they named the bar after Flash, I saw him in Paragon pub (think it was after the match of the day it was re-named). I asked him how he was and commented that that I had just seen the new sign at the ground 'The Flash Flanagan Bar'. He just looked at me across the bar and said ''you must have got it wrong, probably says Flash Flanagan
Barred''.........
Good old Flash.
