Bloody brilliant! Me and my mate are gonna do the Wimbledon 8 both massive Ollie fans and thanks for bringing this to attention. The young guy doin it on the vid - enormous respect, think you're awesome pal! Long live the legend that is Oliver Reed - Nuff sed!
I drank with him in Pompey queens hotel, when he first walked in he was quiet and shy, then he swiftly filled his reputation and I ended up in a bush with no money left in the morning. Here's to you Ollie, you wonderful crazy bastard!
erm, from crusty old local.com - good to see a good few familar faces there - S rocks!. Factual error - in my young day it was always 'the Wimbledon 9 (the King is no longer sob). plus, you will always find locals b---- ing (apart from S) about how they were 'Ollie's mate', yawn. Stiil, an enterprising, if pointless vid - comment from local who went 'off piste' to do the Raynes Park 1' this evening.
The guy aint even that pissed at the end if im honest lol. Still, i would like to try it but ive drank more then 8 pints so i think it woul dbe a doddle.
I attempted the Wimbledon 8 last month. I'm not a big drinker, so I only made it to 6 and quit after the Hand in Hand. I knew I'd be sick if I had one more, so I went home. The hard part is the time factor towards the end. I saw the arm-wrestling man in the same pub in this video but didn't bother him. I'll try the 8 again some day and make it to the end. It's a pretty area, too.
Thanks for posting this video......very true about what the guy said, life is about enjoying yourself...if i ever get a chance to visit the UK, i have to check out one of those pubs.
There is nothing better than a good old English pub (the chain pubs are crap) i miss them now iam in Australia. Cant wait to hit them again when we go home. Oliver Reed was the man.
pissed on weak london beer the pussy if he wuss !.if he went in anirish bar the blavk n poteen he wouldn't last 5mins ...you only need to see shane macgowan (pogues ) to see that !
@19331937100 - another idiot who sits all day at home with one hand on the mouse and the other on his dick! Gay porn addiction can be addressed only if u want it to be, my effete english twat - God save your Queen indeed -
8 pints on a chimney is tiffin......this weedy lil lad should be at home clutching teddy and dribbling, god bless him for the respect to the culture tho....not everyone's cup of tea,but they all look down their noses at it....still they only live till 80 on a fruit diet,in an old peoples home,no marbles, sitting in piss soaked chairs....who's a winner?.....OLIVER.
ah i remember the castle in the village early eighties ollie used to pop in with his builder chums and kop a shag with a posh punk or 2 he was a funny fucker it was regularly raided by by old bill for puff and whizz and had a extradenerly good juke box
Why don,t you come up to Mersyside and see how you fare you southern woofters.I drank 18 pints of bitter on my 18th birthday back in 1976 and still got up for work at 5 am the next day.If Ollie Reed had been there he would have been arm-wrestled to the floor and sent back to London with his willy between his legs and would probably have seen the light.We had the Beatles you got sir Cliff.End of story.
ha ha good vid, i must get down to wimbledon and try it, my uncle lives in raynes park and is a big drinker and no doubt has been in these establishments, i must bring him along, cheers
Back then, there were 9 pubs as the Prince of Denmark (near The Swan) has since closed. So to do the Ollie Reed Run properly you'll have to do it again and have another pint in the Dog & Fox.
To demoralise you even further, Reed would do the crawl twice in one evening. Yes, that's 18 pints!! The guy was a raging alcoholic though.
that is actually the truthm believe me or not I actually drank with reed sometimes in wimbledon. Hardly a best friend but a drinking associate for sure
My dad once politely accused Oliver Reed of taking his pint by mistake, but he had got it wrong and had to apologise! He said Ollie was very gentlemanly about it!
A valient effort, but if you're sloshed after the 8 you've got some work to do.
The Wimbledon 8 is a quality crawl thought up by the man himself. Do it whenever you can, then when you finish, do what I do, try going round again, I've only ever done the 16 once.
Brilliant video guys! What a splendid way to honour the great man. I work in Wimbledon and have done the historical pub crawl in Wimbledon Village, but now i've got to get a bunch of us together and follow his trail. I've drunk in every one of them (but not on the same day) Alas - The King of Denmark is no more - We'll have to include the Fox and Grapes instead. Cheers! Ally Ross, pub enthusiast.
