Kenton Bar Boys

By ghost of mensforth -
I remember one time, maybe early 80s? The Sun newspaper did a 4 page article about'football hooligan gangs' in England. I remember laughing my head off at what they said about Newcastle United hooligans-apparently they were called the 'Kenton Bar Boys' and wore dweeley boopers(or was it deeley boppers?) on their head with black and white kilts!(they may have also said starza jumpers, but Im not sure...)-All the kids on the estate thought this load of bollocks a great thing, but of course it was pure nonsense, made up by the Sun. I have tried to find this article but have been unable to. It may be possible to find it in the Sun archives online-(they charge for this however)but it was true I tell you! anyone else remember this?

kenton bar football team 1974-75

Here is a photo I found during more extensive research in a library... I remember the football team played for the 'Bagnall Cup' and played 'derbys' v St Cuthbert’s and also v Mountfield, North Fawdon, Wyndham, Montague and Snow Street (we and everyone else always thrashed Snow Street at least 12-0-their home pitch was at an angle of 45 degrees...) Note the' flag pennants' which were inspired by the Leeds United strip from the 1973-74 season on the socks of some of the kids in the front row...these had the numbers of the players on. the 10 first team players are all wearing the blue top with yellow hoop:the' subs' are wearing... whatever! It looks like they must have won the Bagnall cup that year! Anyone recognise themselves or any of the players?... (The tecka is Mr Brownlaw, a true gentleman...)
