I passed my 11+ to go to Owler Lane Intermediate school back in 1960, and in 1963 we joined up with Hinde House Secondary school to make, I think, the first Comprehensive school in Sheffield. Does anyone on the forum remember going there at that time?

I didn't go towler lane but went to hinde House untill 1966 so I was propably there at the same time as you only I didn't pass the eleven plus so you were probably in a higher class than me

Yes ....I was one of that group......Hucklow Road....Owler Lane ...then on to Hinde House.

It's been great to read the names from the past on this site. Tony Oxley, Ian Pringle, the famous Greatbatch, Steve Radford. Whatever happened to Geoff Worth? I thought he'd make it as a pro footballer.Does the name Roger Sidwell ring a bell, his folks had a pub in Pitsmoor, also Eddie Lister, lived on the Manor estate along with me. By the way, my name is Brian Moss. Another name I remember is Fred Guite, but sadly, I think he topped himself a few years ago, but I'd love to be wrong.

I remember some of those names, sadly you are right Fred did take his own life. I remember Roger I lived a few yards from him at one time and I think Geoff Worth did become a professional footballer he was certainly a professional coach. I remember you but I think you were one year below me.

Alzymer,

I went to Owler lane and hinde house, i think we were in the same class, My names Iain Pringle.

That's right Iain, I was a banqueting porter for a few weeks(very few, as I let the end of a piano down on the assistant managers foot) and to be honest mate, I can't really remember where in the hotel you worked , but I seem to picture you in a chef's out fit , am I right?

alzymer

iain

This is Steve Radford from Los Angeles....
....first I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year....

All these names from the past....fantastic.

Just made contact with Glyn Senior ......he has a family in Japan....
.....I think he mentioned that Geoff Worth had a stroke.....I'll check into it.

Well Ian's made me hungry with the mention of fish and chips........I'll make some of my Sheffield fish-cakes over the holiday...........they won't let me make Yorkshire Pudding.......ever since I almost set fire to a friends kitchen a couple of years ago......but his wife is talking to me again.

Have a pint for me.....later

Hi Geoff Worth here. Good to see all the old names again.Yes I did play in Pro football with the Owls as a youngster then with Barnsley and Lincoln. All not very successfully mind. Graham Taylor set me on as Youth Team Coach at Lincoln and I coached under George Kerr, Willie Bell and Colin Murphy at Lincoln also being in charge of the Reserves. I then moved to Derby County where I stayed for a few years before going back to my Sheffield business and taking over Alfreton Town and later Buxton. All not very exciting I'm affraid. I am currently in the USA where I have started a company connected to the Uk set up which is now in it's 39th year. Strewth! and I'm only 39
I am not quite sure who I am replying to, but if it is you Brian, I remember you being a good inside forward even though you were a Blades fan.
Regards Geoff

Does anybody remember the teacher at Owler Lane, Mr Heap he used to take us for sport amongst other things. He was there around the same time as Ralph O'Donnell (I think) the Sheff Wed player. Geoff you might remember Mr O I think he once gave you an England shirt.

It was Mick Heap and he followed Ralph. Although I think Mick started with us at Hinde House. Ralph got the sack if you remember when we were still at Owler Lane for touring with Wednesday to Nigeria I think. What a good memory you have, although Ralph left me some memorabilia from Nigeria it was Peter Swan who gave me an England Shirt. That was the closest I was ever going to come to one.
I have kept in touch with Ralph over the last few years. He is living in the Potteries. I had a job finding him and I am now upset that because I am in the States, I haven't phoned him since Christmas and I can't seem to get hold of him. Last year when I spoke to him there was a possibility that he may be moving down south but seemed to change his mind. Maybe he did eventually move. I will track him though

Hi Steve
Geoff Worth here. I hope you are well. Glynn kept me in touch with you travelling.Are you still playing the guitar?

Hi gang,greetings from Japan.We've just had a couple of earthquakes and there's a typhoon coming so it's rock and roll all the way.Check out some of the Hinde House threads if you get a chance.Once the Owler Lane intake had all passed through they got some right little thugs in there.From what I can tell, all the Owler Lane teachers had left by 1968,except of course for the beloved headmaster who's got his own thread.I'll be in Sheff. in August and hope to see any of you who'll be there.Cheers,Glyn

Hi .....

.....you came up in a conversation just the other day........we were sat around talking about our first guitars etc...........some guy came up with a picture of an old sunburst Futurama.......the Stratocaster knock off with three either side machines and the three rocker switches........just like the one you had................now that's strange.
I still play........always got a couple of Strats lying around.
In fact after I messed my leg up......moved into a friend's guest house next to his recording studio.......could have used this place in earlier time when I had something worth recording.......not the krap I'm doing now.

Glyn......sorry to hear about your local weather.......makes our early record breaking heat wave seem minor.

The typhoon passed us by in the night.We had a lot of rain but no strong winds.Geoff,Phil does look at this site but I don't know if he has a user name.I met Mick Greatbatch a few years ago,He'd been ill but he was looking great.Unfortunately he couldn't remember much about school.Anybody know what happened to Ken Johnson?He was the lad who was always in trouble.at one time managing to leave his homework down a pothole in Derbyshire.

hi i went to owler lane school i left 1966 norma allen i remember diane alderson janice roe ann yendley

hi, my name is Michael Cooke and I went to Owler Lane in 1962 and then to Hinde House in '63. I'm two years behind Geoff Worth but I did play in '67 for the first XI along with a couple of people who were in the same year as Geoff Worth. My cousin is Geoff Searson, a couple of years in front of you

geoffusa do you remember jim woodhead

geoffusa do you remember jim woodhead

Yes I do remember Jim, he was a class member of mine and a good lad

I enjoyed playing for the school, apart from when St. Peters beat us 9-1. They had about 4 of that years Sheffield Boys in their side including Ronnie Bryan and Johnny Cooke. They never allowed me to live that down!
Geoff

I have spoken to Ralph O'Dpnnell a couple of times recently. He has moved with his family to Weymouth and is keeping well. He has many a good story to tell and I love talking to him. Does anybody remember his Geography lessons when we used to leave an Owls programme on the front desk. Not much geography got done then. I remember gong to Burnley for a night match when Ralph was playing and I showed him the prog. the next day at the beginning of his class. Needless to say, we took his mind off the Andes and whatever.
Does anyone remember Miss Baldock, and the nice young lady who took us for Biology ( poor sod)
Geoffusa

Hi Geoff,wasn't Miss Baldock the maiden name of our beloved Mrs Bermingham?She was our home room teacher for four years and quit teaching soon after.I was always worried that we might have soured her on the teaching profession but apparently this was not the case.I heard that the kids who she got after us were a right set of malicious little thugs and they put her off teaching.I've been rereading this entire thread and,for some reason,some innocuous posts have been removed.A couple of them were about the so-called strike when Mr O Donnell was sacked following his taking time off to go to Africa with Sheffield Wednesday.Give him my best when you next talk to him.He was a great teacher.

Hi Glyn
But she wasn't our Biology teacher was she?
I remember being told to pick a slipper by Mr. Thomas because he apparently looked out for Miss Biology
Geoff

No,she taught English.The only young lady teacher I can remember was the lady who taught us French in the first year.I think her name was Miss Sourbutts.All the other female teachers were quite old.Mrs Fairest,Mrs Cook.Mrs Lucock and Mrs McDonald are all names that come to mind.Mrs Fairest taught history and was the only teacher allowed to cane girls.Mrs McDonald taught girls PE and that stupid bloody folk dancing.She was as serious as a heart attack and I never once saw her smile.

Hey Glyn
I don't know what I did before you got me to this forum.
We definately had a young lady taking us for biology, because I remember the " stick" I got from her when I "enevitably" finished bottom in class, as she put it.
Spoke to Ralph the other day and passed on your regards. He's fine although a little out of the way for us in Weymouth. I would have liked to have met up with him the next time I'm in the UK but maybe that's gone for good now. Crikey, that's glum isn't it.
Geoff

Geoff,th'as been gerrin too much of that Florida sun.We never even took biology.It was just general science the first two years and physics with chemistry for us B class thickies for the last three.

I went to owler lane in 1963. I then moved up to Hinde House comprehensive in 1963. Our form room was actually the stage in the hall! I also seem to recall a couple of teachers getting married, but I can't remember their names. I do remember during the big freeze that we were asked by the headmaster if we had an art period on one thursday afternoon. A classmate gave him a copy of our timetable, which indicated that we were there all that afternoon. The head said that as the heating had broken down in the arts class, (it was a sort of prefabricated building in the school yard) we were to be sent home for that afternoon! Most of us went snowballing in the park! But the best thing was that the headmaster had been given the wrong timetable by mistake, but no one let on. I sometimes drive past the old school and it's amazing how small it seems now compared to when we were kids. Was there a teacher called Mr Tizard? the name seems to have stuck for some reason, although he may have been at another school.

Dear All, I'm glad that my initial post a couple of years ago extracted a few names from the past. I haven't been on this site for a while, as I went back to school for around three years, and I remember schoolwork being easier at fifteen than it's been at fifty nine! It's been nice to read Geoff's football memories. I remember the game against St Peters, but the scoreline must have been so traumatic that my memory deleted it. Thanks for reminding me Geoff!!!!!!! I've been in the casino business for around thirty years and three years ago I decided that it was not the career for me. I decided that I was missing my grandkids growing up while I'm off the coast of Georgia most nights and weekends dealing Roulette and Blackjack. Now I hope to be helping people as a physical therapist assistant, instead of relieving people of their hard earned cash. I'm also enjoying my new hip joint after painful osteoarthritis for over twenty years. I can't complain too much as I put my joints through football, martial arts and finished off with a couple of marathons. I must be the most unsuccessful athletic 'wanabe' in history. Well it's time to study for my state board exam so I'll say bye for now. Brian

I went to Owler Lane in 1962 and was in form Ia and form ic classroom was on the stage.
1a's classroom was used at dinnertime as the dinner room. Some of the members of ic were Jim Shirt, Ronnie Marsden Trevor Riley and others whose faces I can remember, but not the names. At Easter 1963, I moved downwards to 1c and then in the summer moved to Hinde House where I was in 2c, 3b1, 4g1 and 5g1

Hi Michael, what a memory you've got. The three names of 1c you posted are also the three lads who took the entrance exam for the central technical school at hinde house. I'm ronnie by the way. I'm a bit ashamed that I havn't kept in touch with anyone from my former schools, but with the astonishing internet, maybe I can. Cheers mate.

Has anyone on here got any idea what Eddie Lister is doing these days. He used to live on the Manor estate, and he may be remembered as our school goalkeeper.

Hi Brian
I enquired about Eddie some time ago but with no response. How's things? I am still waiting your next career report. I suppose you are too busy taking peoples gambling chips!

Hi Geoff,I've just got back.Thanks for your pm.Sorry for not replying yet.I've got terrible jet lag.I had a nice meeting with some of the lads last week.The usual suspects were there,(Phil Woodall,Mick Fearnehough and John Clapham) and it was lovely to meet Andrew Civico for the first time in 37 years.I met Iain a couple of times but he's super busy.Iain mate,if you're reading this.slow down a bit.Iain had met Chris Houseley and gave me his number.I called him and he was really glad to hear from me but couldn't come to the meeting as he was in Scotland.He is interested in coming to future get togethers though and I think he may be in touch with Eddie.I'll keep you informed.Cheers,Glyn.

Hey Glyn, (or shall I call you 'Sir'), Brian Moss here. Glad you had a nice trip back home recently. I told Iain the same thing in my last email, for him to stop and smell the roses otherwise he'll be pushing up the daisie's! There's a thread on here about the Housley name, and a couple of days ago I put my four penneth in to find anything about Chris, and lo and behold you pop up with some info. All these names from the past brings back fond memories. We need to get everybody on the site to give everyone else a 'heads up' about what they've been up to the last forty odd years. (I was only arrested once, and I didn't know that the $20 bill was counterfeit!!!!!) Anyway mate when you're over your jetlag drop me a line. What did you do with all your football programmes? Regards, Brian

Glyn had 1 football programme, Brian. Versus Wednesday!!
Geoff

I think I've got one football programme in an old shoe box back at my mums house in Sheffield. Sheffield United versus River Plate of Argentina. It was an exhibition match to do with United buying Alex Sabella from River Plate in the 70's. I can't remember who won, and whatever happened to Sabella?

Hi Y'all
I have just spoken at great length with Ralph O'Donnell. As I have said previously, he hasn't been too well, but he is feeling fine now. He is settling into his new home in Weymouth and is quite excited that the local football club are building a new ground not too far from his house.
He asked me if I remembered when we used to do sprints on the street behind Owler Lane. But I said, if it hadn't a ball with it I wouldn't have been there.
Does anyone remember the street or indeed the "sprints".
Brian, you must have done that!!

I have told him he has become even more confused in his later years than when he was when he was teaching. As usual, he takes it in great humour and says he has always been old. I spend an age on the phone with him and could stay on all day. No change there then.

river plate won 2-1 woodward penalty for us. sabella went to play for leeds. later went on to coaching in argentina think he was even a coach for the argentina national side.

Geoff, I don't remember any windsprints in the street. They must have been, 'secret training sprints' that you won't own up to! (No wonder I could never catch you:rant:) I'm glad that Ralph is enjoying Weymouth. I spent quite a few summers there, working as a barman at the local Pontins Holiday camp at Osmington Bay. I played for the staff six a side football team every Friday afternoon, against whoever had won the campers competition. One week a team of apprentices came down from Leyton Orient FC and we managed to hold them to a 3-3 draw. We weren't allowed to buy a round in the staff bar that weekend:hihi:

hi glyn geoff etc now ive joined u lets start talking

Hi Phil.welcome to the forum.Does anybody know if John Cresswell is around?I heard he had a bad accident quite some time back and lost an arm.

Hi Phil, caught any big Carp lately?

hi glyn /geoff no further news about cressy but will investigate and report he may read this who knows

You know Geoff, you could very well be right. I could always find more interesting things to do at home than at school. :hihi:

Hi Moe Robinson here. Phil put me in touch with this site. I am surprised that he hasn't posted any comments. Sorry I didn't meet up with Glynn and Geoff in the summer but hopefully next year? Give me plenty of notice when you are next in Sheffield Glynn and maybe we can have a big reunion for our sixtieth year.

Very sorry Phil. I was in a hurry to post this message and didn't read all the entries until later. I notice that Geoff was hoping to be back in the UK this month. Did you catch up with him? All the girls are planning a trip next year for our sixtieth birthdays - possibly Barcelona. We shall have to meet up for a mini reunion as I don't have the energy to organise another large scale one.

Hi Phil, Unfortuntely I had another stroke 3 weeks ago. 13 years after the last one. Unlucky for some eh! I'm out of hospital now but flying is out of the question in the forseeable future. It affected my right side this time and as it was my left last time, I'm kinda evened up. I have apparently had a hole in my heart for the past 60 years and will be getting that fixed soon. I knew there was a good reason I didn't play for England and this must be it.
Fishing is not out of the question Phil, but I must make sure you don't have to give me CPR on the bankside. That would probably finih me off !
Geoff

Welcome Moe and comiserations Geoff.Get well soon. Moe,Don't forget to check out the Hinde House sites.Also the long thread on Mr Edwards,We'd be interested to read any input you might have.Can anybody remember how long the gap was between Pop Gregory retiring and Mr E starting?I'm sure Mr Pashley was in charge for a while.At least it was him who handled the so-called 'strike' when Ralph O'Donnel was sacked.

Get well soon I heard a rumour about your earlier illness but knownig how fit you were at school and how good a footballer you were I dismissed it as that, a rumour, all the the best.

Hi Glyn sorry to have missed you last time you were over. I seem to recall that Mr Pemberton (Spam) was temporary head until Mr Edwards took over at the beginning of our second year. I believe Mr Gregory retired at Christmas in our first year. Maybe someone will prove me wrong!

Hi Geoff sorry to hear your news. I hope you recover quickly and are able to return for your fishing trip quite soon.

Thanks Moe, good to hear from you. Hope you are well.
The thought of teaching Phil to fish properly is a great incentive for recovery

whats cpr ? or should it be carp / crap

Dear philuk, CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. In the UK we'd just call it First Aid. I'd need it if I ever caught a fish!:hihi:

Hi John, That will be great.

Hi John,and welcome.Don't forget to check out the Hinde House and Mr Edwards thread.

Hi Michael, what a memory you've got. The three names of 1c you posted are also the three lads who took the entrance exam for the central technical school at hinde house. I'm ronnie by the way. I'm a bit ashamed that I havn't kept in touch with anyone from my former schools, but with the astonishing internet, maybe I can. Cheers mate.
Eyup Ronnie
Jim Shirt here, how are you mowd duck, just discovered this website, wot a memory some of the blokes on here have for names, I was in touch with Trevor Riley some months ago via the Friend Reunited website.He lives in Nottingham I think. Im over in Rotherham working for the Council, and looking forward to retiring and touring on my motorbike. Check out this website, rotherhamadvancedmotorcylists.com for a recent photo. Good to see you are alive and kicking matey.

Jim

Hi Phil, Unfortuntely I had another stroke 3 weeks ago. 13 years after the last one. Unlucky for some eh! I'm out of hospital now but flying is out of the question in the forseeable future. It affected my right side this time and as it was my left last time, I'm kinda evened up. I have apparently had a hole in my heart for the past 60 years and will be getting that fixed soon. I knew there was a good reason I didn't play for England and this must be it.
Fishing is not out of the question Phil, but I must make sure you don't have to give me CPR on the bankside. That would probably finih me off !
Geoff

Hold on a minute mate!!!! If you've had a hole in your heart all these years it answers a lot of questions. As more air has been getting into your heart, does this mean that you've been turbocharged all these years :huh: No wonder we couldn't keep up with you at scosh :;):

It's been great to read the names from the past on this site. Tony Oxley, Ian Pringle, the famous Greatbatch, Steve Radford. Whatever happened to Geoff Worth? I thought he'd make it as a pro footballer.Does the name Roger Sidwell ring a bell, his folks had a pub in Pitsmoor, also Eddie Lister, lived on the Manor estate along with me. By the way, my name is Brian Moss. Another name I remember is Fred Guite, but sadly, I think he topped himself a few years ago, but I'd love to be wrong.

ayup bri.roger sidwell here or sid as it used to be.just managed to use this new fangled device.been stuck in the past for years .great to see you still in there after all this time.yes fred and me played in a band for a time back then.we did lose him im afraid.seeing all those names brings back some great memories for me. i recall cycling to your house and playing football with eddie.not seen anyone for years.

Alzymer
I remember some of those names, sadly you are right Fred did take his own life. I remember Roger I lived a few yards from him at one time and I think Geoff Worth did become a professional footballer he was certainly a professional coach. I remember you but I think you were one year below me.
Siren

ayup. roger or sid here from pitsmoor .nice to see the old names.what happened to the last 45 years ?

I enjoyed playing for the school, apart from when St. Peters beat us 9-1. They had about 4 of that years Sheffield Boys in their side including Ronnie Bryan and Johnny Cooke. They never allowed me to live that down!
Geoff

ayup. sid here and yes i scored that goal .i recall what a class player you were then geoff always in command of the ball.Billy McCall also played for them that day .went to the owls and ended up playing pub football with me.

Hi Roger
Good to hear from you. Thanks for the flattery mate, maybe the memory is going.
Billy was a good pal of mine at Hillsborough, and it always surprised me that he really didn't want to be a pro. He went into the Police and did quite well there I understand.We are getting quite a gathering of the the clan on this site now which is great. Let's all stay in touch. I'm hoping to get back to the UK in the new year - if the health situation gives me a break - and we must all get together again.
Geoff

Hi Roger and welcome.I heard that there'll be a reunion next year when we are all 60.Chances are that I won't be able to attend because I can only get to the UK in August when most people are away.For the past few years we've been having a mini reunion in late August usually attended by the lads but now and again Moe brings some of the lasses along.I hope to see you next year.Cheers,Glyn.

Ayup Roger, Glad you could finally make it to the gathering. We've still got a couple of 'hold outs' to be rounded up :ie Eddie Lister and Chris Housley, but I'm sure they'll make contact once they've been released :hihi: I've been over here in Florida since 1985. Started working as a typewriter mechanic and finished up working as a croupier on a gambling ship. Don't ask me how one job led to the next :huh: unless you've got a lot of time on your hands! I'm afraid I can't see me getting back home to Sheffield in the near future as the bottom has dropped out of my business. For some weird reason, instead of gambling on the casino boat, people would rather spend what little money they have on food and clothing for the kids and mortgages....go figure? If I could afford to come over I couldn't afford to get back! All the best for now mate. Keep writing! Regards, Brian

Does anyone know what happened to George Webster? The last time I saw him, around forty years ago, he had just opened his nightclub on West street. I think they called it the 'Limit'.

I can't help you there, Brian. I knew about the Clubs but lost him from there.
Geoff

Hi Geoff, nice to see you posting again. Hope you're a lot better and best wishes for 2009.

Does anybody know what happened to a friend of mine from Paulet Rd on the Manor Estate. His name was (and still is I suppose :huh:) Dave Mossman. He was a year above me at Owler Lane. I can't remember him being at Hinde House though.:confused: ......Mind you, I can't remember much of anything these days :hihi:

Hi Alzymer
I remember Dave we knocked around together at Owler Lane and Hinde House. Its years since I saw him about 1973. He lives somewhere on Occupation Lane.

I've just sent Chris Housley an email telling him about Sheffield forum.Hopefully he'll get in touch.

Hi Glynn. Thanks for the Christmas card. I was out last night celebrating Ann Richardson's 60th birthday. Nice to know that everyone is catching me up. I certainly have my bus pass. The girls are planning to celebrate our coming of pensionable age with a trip to Barcelona, probably in April. Let me know your date for visiting this year and I will certainly try to arrange a reunion, with a little help from my friends. Civ gave me his phone number when he rang me back in August but I am not sure where I wrote it down. I understand that Geoff may be coming over some time this month. If he contacts me or Jim we can probably arrange a gathering at the usual place.
All the best for 2009
Moe

Ayup John, Thanks for the season's greetings. I know it's cold over there but at least it's seasonal. Over here in north Florida I don't know what to put on next as it's 30/40 one day and 65/80 the next. Of course Geoff lives in the posh part of the state further south, where it's a balmy 60/70 most of the winter. Must be nice to be rich :hihi:
