Hi Frank, I am Michael, Don Morley:s youngest brother, Don is still with us and I will tell him that you are on this thread.

Your memory of the 6-1 win at Fulham is a bit out, thie was the game when football history was created Wednesday scored inside 30 seconds without having touched the ball through an own goal by Alan Mullery. The first time this had ever happened and to date as far as I am aware has vever been repeated. Wednesday were 4-1 up at half time and the next away game went 1 better in the 7-2 win in the FA Cup at Old Trafford which is Man Unt's highest home defeat

Hi Cornishrose, If I remember my old imperial measurements a gill was a 1/4 of a pint or 32 gills to a gallon. I used to fetch a jug of beer from the Vine sometimes for old Mrs MacDonald, she use to have 6 gills which was a pnt and half and it cost just One Shilling and sixpence. Mickowl91

Hi Chairboy, The 6-1 at Fulham match ypur memory is slightly off as this is a game that created football history, Wednesday scored after 29 seconds without ever touching the ball. Fulham kicked off, we closed them down and three back passes saw the ball reach debudant Alan Mullery, from just outside the right corner of the penalty area he kno cked the ball back to goalkeeper Fony Macedo without looking but Macedo was not on his line and the Owls were 1 up. Fulham equalised after 17 minutes, but whilst they were celebrating Tom McAnearny put the ball in their net to make it 2-1 this goal was even quicker than the first. We were 4-1 up at half time and had 4 goals disallowed or it could have been 10-1. The next away match was the cup replay at Old Trafford when we gave Manchester United their heaviest ever home defeat in our 7-2 victory, happy memories.

Hi cuttsie, You're right about the Rickshaw, about 12 of us use to go there on Sunday night and buy a chop suey roll so we could drink more beer after the pubs shut. Happy times. mickowl91

I am suprised that no one has mentioned the one on Surrey Street corner which turned jnto the Concordin the mid 60's. It was there for years before that firstly as Hudsons which served good English food, then a name change to Hudsons Chop Suey Restuerant in the late 50's' It was definately one of the first in not the first other early contenders The Rickshaw, Canary and Zing Vaa in town and the Bluebird at Hillsborough corner above the shops. ,

The chippy was higher up Spital Street midway between Thistle Street and Verdon Street,

Hi Falls I don't know what happened to Les, I only saw him once after he left Pitsmoor, same with Dawn, I saw her about 8 years ago and we recognised each other even though not having seen one another for over 40 years. I do remember Brian Tomkins he lived near the Saxtons, Gerald and Steven, you must have known one of my brothers, Albert Morley, he was a good freind of Les's.

hi There was a girl called Sheila Russell in my class at Pyebank School, left in 1952, she would be 69 or 70 now, she lived on Oborne Street near to the Wembley playground. In the 70s she had a little sandwich shop on London Road, not seen her since then. mickowl91

The nearest cobbler's shop to Marcus Street was in Spital Street just around the corner fron the Merry Heart pub, it was owned by little Tommy Shaw.
