Gulp.
Well hello
An NME image of sweater-losing Cock Cork eccentrics Stump Sultans of Ping FC from 1992 discovered by vintage website Brand New Retro.
Kieran c asks:
“Is it just me or was the silly-looned gent at the back a bit greedy when the meat and two veg/twig and berries/family jewels/, etc. were being handed out? I call fake on his obscene package….
FIGHT!

Still no sign of that jumper either
It’s just you. Standard enough package in tight pants.
As you were.
nah, there’s a pound of denny’s finest down there.
His pants are on back to front, accentuating the, er, effect. Explained in the article. Apparently, it was the style at the time.
Style at the time for him, I’d say.
I remember 1992. I do NOT remember men wearing their trousers backwards. And I think I would. Imagine the practical implications :-)
Kriss Kross ‘ll make ya!

Jeekers tonight!
Sultans of Ding-a-ling
Would have gone with Sultans Of Wang personally, but whatever you’re having yourself
Ding, Wang… its all protein at the end of the day
… and very nearly a Chinese snooker player too!
best band ever.
apart from Rollerskate Skinny.
I like your manifesto, put it to the testo.
Make it with pesto.
Eat natural food baked twice daily.
I always thought they said:
East natural food,
Bathe twice daily
There are conflicting entries on different lyrics sites.
Think you’re right about bathe.
*huge urge now to outstretch arms in circular flying mode around a dance floor as “dancing at the disco” fades out….
I thought it was bathe too :)
Up until last year some time i thought this bad were absolutly rubbish….until i heard the song “give him a ball and a yard of grass”. Now i just think they are rubbish.
“Give him a ball & a yard of grass
He’ll give you a move with perfect pass”
* Band
**Absolutely
No more plastic pitches!!
QPR, you’ve got a lot to answer for!!
If God had meant it played up there,
He would’ve put goalposts in the air.
His “Ken Barlow is Jesus” t-shirt was a particular favourite at the time.
Is that Quark from Deep Space Nine – back / left?
I’d know that smile almost anywhere.
“He’s a nice young man with a lovely smile”
Gawd. I get the nerdy reference and you’re right. Heh.
Great band. Well able to get weird

Love this tune
Superb.
That’s it decided so. Staying in listening to the Sultans for the evening.
Ah. Thanks a mill BS
Great t’see Murty again. Always with that smile. Even when the showbanders Dancing Bastards From Hell dumped him without even a trace of common courtesy.
I must dig out his old fanzines
Have a pinta rasa
And ring home
The singer, Niall Flaherty, completed his PhD in 2008 and is currently a lecturer in the History of European Political Thought, Kings College, London.
He should consider putting Phil Hogem into a song
Along with Nigel Farage
Best band ever to come out of this country. Gig in McGonagles was a riot.
92??? Looks more like 1975.
I am now appreciating these blokes, having been overseas during their time. My kids love “where’s me jumpa”.
