hi.john have you still got the stall.used to see you when buying things for the dog.still think we did not get credit for all we did in sports of all kinds.remember going for sheffield boys trails were most of the team had already been picked,the guy elected captain along with a couple more played against us for firth park we gave them a right thrashing joe rogers ran them ragged think we won about 6-1.not one player from whitby made it but on ability we should have had about three in that team.it was same with cricket and athletics they were always picked from the same schools disgusting.

Hi Kenny

You are so right about the sports just depended on which school you went to. Not got the stall anymore I am working for the rspb now as a teacher.

Speak to you soon.

Hi Chris

I was just thinking how many of us in our street that went to W/Road at the same time. you, me, Henry Tooze, Brian Scaife, Graham Blandy any more. Sorry but I forgot I hope you and Norma are well and have you retired? I think I have a couple of photo's somewhere I shall have to have a rumage in the photo box a bit difficult this weekend as we are baby sitting. I still remember the weekends we had just you and me playing football fifteen minutes in the nets for each of us.
