I have your book Ginger, and my great granny lived on Fernley Road, and my Nins friend Kathleen had the flat down the side of the car sales, so I spent a lot of time in the yard visiting Rummy and his mates, with a pocket full of mints!

Thoroughly enjoyed this mini documentary, with lots of footage I've never seen before :) Love listening to the great character and trainer, Ginger McCain talking about his beloved Rummy. Two Kings of Aintree and legends that will never be forgotten xx

I think everyone from Southport, of a certain age, loves Rummy! 💙 My mum's friend's husband, Mike Savage painted his portrait, which hung above the door in what was then The Red Rum Bar in Southport, then The Carleton

I was in Southport today and there is a huge mural of Red Rum splashing in the ocean.

No mention of his brilliant jockey Brian Fletcher

[@paullynton-green6570]

Fletcher was a better national jockey than stack.with brian on board rummy would have won in 1976.

if tiger roll is back next year I’m going to aintree to see him

[@Cheshire-mopping]

Real shame we didn't get chance to see tiger roll attempt a third win in the national I don't think he was badly handicapped this year he had a decent chance

[@hansam2787]

Newsflash tiger roll has won back to back grand nationals

[@melclo3641]

Never a third

[@kt1pl2]

I've barely heard anything about Red Rum, it's all about betting etc etc etc...
