With the news of a reunion at Jumpin Jak's, the Echo looks back at pictures of the venue through the years.

Numerous Southampton residents of a certain age hold recollections of the Jumpin' Jaks nightclub - some joyful, while others less so.

With the promise of duelling pianos, Spinny Man, and a barn dance theme, clubbers eagerly lined up in Leisure World's foyer -  even when the club was empty inside!

It was not uncommon to spot Saints footballers in there, including Matt Le Tissier and Claus Lundekvam, mingling in a cosy corner, unwinding after a hard day's training.

During a lively event in February 2003, partygoers found themselves drenched in the unthinkable after a sewage pipe burst above the dance floor.

Reports suggested that approximately 750 individuals were present at the venue when the pipe suddenly disconnected.

"Please bring back this place!"
