Cossack Club (Bloom Street)

The Cossack Club was on Bloom Street not far from Thomson Arms near the bus station. I never went there myself but Russian Dave, the owner, was a character who always drove american cars.

Further to mention of the Cossack Club being owned by Russian Dave. I knew Russian Dave in the 60s, didn't everybody, and I have a feeling he is the guy who calls himself David Dickinson to-day. Does anybody else think this?

I knew the RUSSIAN DAVE very well in the 60's. He had a garage in Leigh the last time I saw him. Always wondered what happened to him.

My name is David Kay, otherwise known as RUSSIAN DAVE. What a surprise to read about myself on your page. Thankyou for the comments and just to let you know I am alive although not in perfect health, am still driving my american cars.

I'm really surprised to hear that Russian Dave is still alive and well and living in CHORLTON, really the Russian of Cossack Club fame, how old are you now ha ha? You don't know me but my best friend's dad Sid O'Brien used to see you and a couple of times you took us a drive up Hyde Road, Ardwick, in your American car in the 1960's - we were about 11 then.

Michelle O'B is still my best friend but sadly Sid's long gone. Happy days.
