Hubert and son raced whippets at Chelson Meadow Racecourse in the 1930s/1940s, first constructed by the Parkers of Saltram House, Plymouth in the 18th century. He was a pretty tough customer! Running a pub. he had to deal with many difficult situations. On one occasion, a local rough-neck bully, (reputed to have thrown a prostitute to her death in Sutton Harbour), came into the Ham Street Vaults and, glowering menacingly, demanded of the customers present "Who's going to buy me a drink?". Hubert immediately leapt over the bar counter, grabbed the big man by his collar and threw him out the door. The bully never returned. In the late 1940s he took his grandson Hubert Anthony (Tony) to watch his beloved Plymouth Argyle F. C. (he was a Shareholder). During the match, he kept up a constant barrage of criticism towards players, officials etc., and at one point a young man behind shouted to him "Shut up grand-dad!". He promptly turned around and laid out the offender with a mighty punch! Not a man to be trifled with! Estate £1275 18s 11d. Probate to solicitors William Ernest Blakeney and William Harold Sweet.
