When I was at Peel Park my friend's parents ran the Commercial and I remember the two of us running about in the corridors, probably driving residents up the wall. It always seemed to be busy and had famous people staying there. I recall Tommy Steele for one.

You may wonder what they were doing visiting Accy but they were in the "Showbiz XI" and here to play Stanley. I lived in Sultan St at the time and the crowds coming down into town when "football loosed" were fantastic. All very boisterous but never any trouble as I remember.
