The Sherwood was one of the livelier pre-match pubs, with drinkers regularly spilling out onto the car park and pavement. Abiding memories of the Sherwood are early starts in via the back door, supping nothing but cans of Breakers, and being mithered for 20 pence by Daft Donald, one of the real City characters.
Apparently the Sherwood was the drinking hole of choice for bands who recorded Top of the Pops at the nearby Dickinson Road. On the corner of Claremont Road and Union Street, it was one of the first pubs around here to fold after City ended their 80 year association with Moss Side and Rusholme.
