So
Darryl
how
did
you
get
involved?
The
first
thing
I
can
ever
remember
about
it
was
seeing
people
unexpectedly
covered
in
crap
on
King
Street
garage.
And
they were
sort
of
lads
that
we
looked
up
to,
absolutely
covered
in
s***
dancing
about
on
King
Street
garage.
And
going…
summat’s
not
right there.
We’d,
we’d
been
out
drinking
and
the
people
I
don’t
want
to
name
them
but
you
can
imagine
the
sort
of
lads
who
used
to
wander
in the
town centre
and people
would go…
(whistle)
look who’s here…
look who’s here
Top
lads.
Yeah.
But
they
were
covered
in
crap.
Yeah,
like
they’ve
been
dancing
in
a
field.
And
Spike,
one
o’lads
who used to
knock about
we us,
went
over
and
said
Look
at
you…
And…
one
person
in
particular
leant
in
and
went…
It’s
coming.
You’ll
know
when
it
gets
here.
And
that’s
all
he said…
jumped
in
the
car
and
cleared
off.
That’s
our
first
intro
to
it.
Bit
mind-blowing
at the
time
because
you
go…
you just
used
to
seeing
him
in
the
boozer
having
a
beer…
but
they
were
dancing
about
s***faced.
What’s
going
on?
Just
just
summat
totally
out of
the blue
you just
didn’t
expect it.
Were end
of
the
night.
We’re
all
full
of
beer
just
seeing
lads
like that
dancing
about
like that
on’
24-hour
car
park…
24
hour
garage
like
that
and your
thinking
nah
summat’s
wrong here.
And
it
come.
So
what
happened
when it
came?
When
did
it
get
you?
About
a week
later.
And
then
we were
in it.
What
does
that
mean?
Someone’s
someone’s
gunna
listen
to this
in a 100
years.
Tell
us
what
happened?
As
far
as
I can
remember
we were
in one of
me mates
flats
and
someone
went
to
drop
some
some
tablets
off
for us.
Your used
to
doing
abit
of
acid,
a
bit
of
speed,
different…
Someone’s
dropped
these
tablets
off
for us
and said…
You’ll have
a good
night
off these.
I
think
if
I
remember
rightly
we
either
went
to
Manhattan
Heights
or’
Cav
and
had
these.
And
basically
you
stood
there
sweating
profusely
looking
at
everyone
who was
steaming
drunk
going…
what the
f****** hell
are
we
doing
in
here.
We’d
have
danced
in’t
street.
We
would
have
danced
anywhere
bar
in
that
club.
We
just
wanted
some…
even
the
music
sounded
like
crap.
And
that’s
my
first
memory
until
the
first
party
we
ever
went
to
which
was…
if
I
remember
rightly
Johnson
Street
in
the
bicycle
shop.
And
it
turned
into
a
mass
brawl
wi’
loadsa
Asians
because
they were
complaining
that
sound…
It’s
too noisy
and
there were
abit of a
set
to
in’t
street
and
that,
but
that
were
like
the
first
taster
of
it.
That’s
the
bike
shop
I was
talking about,
used to be
called
Good
Fellows
Cycles
yeah.
On
the
corner.
It’s
on
Devonport
Road
it’s
the
next
one
up
isnt
it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That’s
the
first
one
I
can
clearly
remember.
And
then
I
can
remember…
One
on
Revidge
Road.
Yeah,
which
is
on
because
that
was
my
old
that
were
my
old
stomping
ground
when
I
was
a
kid
because I
were from
Wimberley.
So
I
knew
all
that
sort
of
area.
So…
which
was in
a
guy’s
house…
It
was
in a
guy’s
house,
it
got
trashed.
so,
you
know,
something
very
strange,
that,
that
was,
that
was
one
of
the
first
and
also
probably
the
last one…
the last
that
ended
up
in
that
state.
Exactly
when he
was doing his
house up.
Yeah.
So
Darryl
you’re from
Wimberley?
Yeah.
I
were
born…
So
did
you
come
from
that
like
Wimberley
boot
boy
background?
No
that’s me
brothers
generation.
That
were
the
younger
lot.
We
were
the
ones
that…
yeah,
we
were
the
ones
that had
all
the
estate
fenced
off
cos
we
were
thieving
everything
cos
we
were
rogues,
we
were all
rogues,
all’ lot
of
us.
But
good,
nice
rogues,
we only
robbed
off
them
that
deserved
to
be
robbed.
Ha
ha
ha.
Y’know,
odd
scooter
went
missing
here
and
there,
odd
Vauxhall
Viva
to
run
people
to
school
in
the
morning.
But
that
were
the life
then.
Yeah,
it
was.
People
didn’t
have
money,
it
were
all
hand
me
downs
and…
I
had
an
older
sister,
I
can
remember
going
to
school
wi’
scalloped
blouse
top
on,
and
me
mates
going…
odd
looking
shirt?
It’s a
f******
hand
me
down.
What
do
you
expect?
you
know,
at
least
I didn’t
have to
wear
her
skirts…
I’d
o’been
done
finished,
social
life
gone.
Right, so
Darryl
you
get,
you’re
involved
at
the
very
early
part
as
it
sounds,
like
you’re
right
at
the
beginning
of
it
to
me.
Yeah,
I
think
a
lot
of
us
were
because…
without
incriminating
me
sel’
we
were
a
bit
integral
in
the
town
centre
as
a
gang
o’lads
that
came
from
all
over
from
different…
We
weren’t
from
one
part
of
town…
from
Langho,
Pleasington,
Wilpshire,
Wimberley,
Johnson
Street.
We
were
just
a firm
of
lads
that
we
created.
Wer’
sorta
like
the
odds
and
sods
from
everywhere.
But
we
had
a good
family.
And
we
looked
after
each
other
and
because
of
how do I
put it?
Large
shopping
expeditions
in
Switzerland.
We
sort
of
clothed
a
lot
of
people
as
well.
So
having
being
brought
into
it
early
on,
a
lot
of
people
knew
who
we were.
So because
we
don’t
know..
who
did
this,
but
clothes
were
coming
in
from
Switzerland
and
places
and
into
Blackburn.
There
was a
real
Casual
scene
here.
You
ended
up
with
well-dressed
kids
in
Blackburn.
And
then
it
moves
into
this
party
scene.
Yeah,
well,
weren’t
one
for
like
the
really
baggy
acid
clothes.
I
still
preferred
me’
designer
gear
to
be
quite
honest.
I
might’o
grown
me
hair
but,
that
were
about
it.
But
as
for
clothes
wise,
it
always
had
to
be
labels,
labels
labels
labels.
And,
and
that’s
just
how
we
were.
