Went to Liverpool in the early 80s and thought the people were wonderful.I am Irish and we have a great connection with the locals(alot of them related to Irish people).Stan's story is very sad,comes across as being a very genuine person.
I’ve been a Liverpool fan for over 40 years ever since Kenny Dalglish signed for them.I am a proud Scotsman but if I wasn’t Scottish I would have loved to have been born in Liverpool.i love the place and the people, salt of the earth just like us.God Bless.🏴🏴
Am Liverpool born and bred, wouldnt be anywhere else.My Aunty married a Scotsman in Aberdeen..Been many times , they also are salt of the earth..Stay Safe xx
Now put in " Liverpool F C-The Kop Crowd" from 1964 and in the middle of 28,000 singing and swaying Kopites in the 3 minute video is.....STAN BOARDMAN ....In 1964...!!
Glasgow is to Scotland what Liverpool is to England. Both have docks, a ship building industry, both have great humour and like you say, are people's people and absolutely, salt of the earth. I used to tell Nan she was... God rest your soul Nan, born Liverpool 1939, died in Kendal 2023.
When my Dad was a child an overhead dogfight caused him to drop his scarf while running to the air raid shelter. When he picked it up afterwards it was full of holes. During a later raid a German plane that had been active around Portsmouth docks was being pursued & managed to hit (bomb) a school in nearby Petworth, killing over 100 children. Propaganda at the time portrayed this as deliberate, but years later the pilot was traced and welcomed back to the area where he was able to explain that he needed to lose weight in order to flee across the channel and had tried to lob the bomb on the first available harmless farmland that was just beyond the school. Hats off to Stan Boardman & RIP to his brother & all the others killed in Liverpool that night, and to the victims mentioned above.
That was really interesting, thanks to Stan Boardman for sharing his sad story. I remember laughing at Stan telling the 'German's bombed our chippy' joke when I was a kid, who would have thought he had this story behind it. Humour has always been how working class people coped with trauma, probably why so many became comedians.
How strange the way things work out, I searched for the "Fokker" joke that Stan Boardman told on the Des O' Connor Show and found Stans story about the war, very moving❣
now ppl can understand why he hates the germans so much..ppl giving him stick all the time when he always talks about the germans in his shows..fucking good on him
@@sashacoe25 How quickly they forget his gang of flying pickets going around building sites and beating up honest workers with planks, evicting people from his properties and then stating how wrong that was when he was evicted from his large house, campaigning for companies to be Nationalised again while advertising the private company British Gas for his own gain... there is an honesty....
@@terencetrentwatford.632 Arnt you the same idiot above who states" It's an absolute disgusting place" But you like Stan Boardman , really?..........................................
Stan Boardman, golden words of humour from the darkest wartime experiences of childhood. Ricky Tomlinson, hard working class brickyard, actor and himself funnyman. This has so moved me, it has reminded me of My late grandparents stories of wartime. The waste of life, inordinate rules and regulations crossing human emotions and experiences needlessly. Thankyou.
The suffering people endured to keep Britain British. Maybe that's why I am so anoyed at the state of immigration and what it has brought about in today's world...Sad story, and being local I'd heard many similar ones.
My mum lost her twin sister a brother her twin sisters baby, her other sister and her mum were in hospital for three years, very badly burnt, she died in 1983 never knowing were her twin and her baby where buried,
Always loved Stan and his jokes - so funny. No idea his family suffered such trauma during the war. And Ricky, who I barely know. Respect Sirs to you both.
That is really sad and makes me more angry at the loss of life during the wars. I now think that war is a blanket word for murder. Rest in Paradise Mary Munro, her family, and Tommy Boardman. 🙏♥️🙏
Be nice if stan met up with some of mary munroes family im sure there would be many tears...i had no idea about stans childhood blitz yrs one of many many working class stories of how they survived torrid yrs!
My Uncle John Kelman and me Mum Janet knew Stan before he was famous, and he used to sit with them and believe it or not he was a bag of nerves, knowing he would have to get up on the stage. True story.
what was the name of this programme ?? isnt it mind boggling how we are so dramatic today and moan and whinge about the smallest things , get offended and butt hurt about something ridiculous , what a bunch of softies we have become, I am sure the war generation would be disgusted with the way society has become
They killed less than the british empire funny how english people forget that, they always seem to think that thier empire was a good murderous invading land grabbing and thieving empire but everyone elses was bad ... stupid.
Paddy Mac Think it’s jealousy on the part of little Englandars who can’t see that Germany is where it is today due to hard work and very good govmt The UK on the other hand is rubbish govmt that only works for a few and also had too many work shy hell bent on blaming everyone for their miserable lives. They vote right wing so get what they deserve.

What most ordinary English people fail to remember is that most of the working class Germans also went through similar devastating war-time experiences of having their homes bombed and dearest relatives 'buried'.under rubble. From numerous anecdotes related by older Germans this fact becomes very 'evident'; tragically it's a one-sided perspective from the British side we are given on social media!!!
