It became notorious for all the wrong reasons when it featured on Danny Dyer's Real Football Factories and in one episode Dyer, now a star in top BBC soap Eastenders, was seen taking part in a meeting between members of the now infamous Burnley Suicide Squad.
The pub was also mentioned in gang leader, Andrew Porter’s famous Suicide Squad book.
A new landlord was brought in and the pub given a £40,000 overhaul to help it build a reputation as a more family friendly place with a trouble free atmosphere.
