The Ever Open Eye FC

[Random in Duquesa]

They did play in black & white quarters. Dad lived on Beauchamp St in Riverside so could have been Ely but I think it was more likely Grangetown. I’ve got pictures of him playing at the pitch at the canton end of Sloper Road. I lost him in 2020, but he always talked about his time playing for them. I’m sure if I’d mentioned ‘shovel’ it would have brought a smile to his face.

Thanks for replying

My Uncle and grandparents lived on Beauchamp St from 50's mid 1980's ( I did for 5 years ) and he played for Ninian Spurs( pats were rivals ) but always mentioned the Ever Open Eye as their pub . I think it might have been in Wellington Street?
