Captain Morgan Rum

[Bobby Dandruff]

“The right run for today’s taste”.

I must have spent ages subliminally absorbing that. And I never drink it or have seen anyone drink it.

Still, it must have been a good investment for them as it was there for years.

(the Lamb’s Navy rum ads also left an impression on me but for entirely different reasons…. :-/ )

Advertising intrigues me, it obviously works because it’s a massive industry but I wonder how many bottles or shots of Captain Morgan’s rum were sold on the strength of that advert? “I’m going to buy a bottle of that because it’s on the Bob Bank roof”, was this a phrase heard regularly in the off licences of South Wales?

I don't drink rum but if I had to buy a bottle I would get a Captain Morgan's because it was on our roof.

Who got up there to put the ads there? Was it loads of scaffolding or did they jump up on the back wall and shimmy up the steel stanchions? Was Tuerto involved when he was on the books down there? Sort of finding out if the lads were any good in the air.

Did our younger fans swerve Poundland and Warburton’s for the same reason?

Actually Brace's is my bread of choice. The blue loaf. Medium sliced. Subliminally it worked.

Every supermarket of any size throughout the United States has Captain Morgan rum in the alcohol section. And, on recent trips to coastal and lakeside towns I have seen very colourful, piratey statues of the grand old Llanrumney boy.

That roof was full of Asbestos, although the club would have had a go at getting us young un's to climb up and give it a lick of paint. We actually did painting jobs when i was there. Couple of afternoons per week during pre season we would have to help Wayne Nash (Who was newly appointed groundsman back then, think he came in from Ebbw Vale rugby club) The White wash walls around the pitch and the tunnel and glossing the cross bar on the crush barriers on the Bob Bank. My dedicated job was Away changing room, the only perk was a few floating sandwiches and the odd can of Harp Lager left astray by the players of the opposition. I had to mop, sort the toilets and rinse out the bath. Horrible job, Although Ray Wilkins dropped me a tenner after a pre season friendly against Qpr.

Just got a glimpse of the iconic roof on the build up to Scotland v Switzerland.
