I worked after school in Tommy Smith's butcher shop in the late 1960s.
The guy who worked there before me is also a Saints fan, but it is a number of years since I have seen him at a match.
I don't remember a Co-op nearby, but on a Saturday morning I delivered meat to the Chinese across George Street and every week they chased me out brandishing a cleaver! 
I remember Charlie Green well. I wonder if he is still around? He was fine when he managed the shop, but don't think he coped so well when he owned it. 
When Tommy Smith retired, I believe he gifted the shop to Charlie. Very generous after Charlie had worked for him for years.

This is my first post. I have lurked for a while now, but you and a couple of others saying you will never go back reminded of my experience a while ago. I have not been back there for about thirty years except to see Scotland v Sweden a number of years ago. I am a 'proddy' although not been in a church for many years. I went to see saints at ibrox and went to the main stand with my 'tim' best mate as I thought they might slightly more civilised there. Iwas sadly mistaken at very angry and embaressed.
Anyway, signs of green shoots tonight. Some of our young guys look promising and might get the chance to develop in the championship. Feeling a lot happier about our prospects after tonight. Anyone else think the pass to the wide man for their third goal might have been offside?
