St. John Fisher School in the 1960's

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks

 

I was there 1965-1969, left at 15.

 

I can recall some of the names mentioned on this thread, seems like yesterday..

 

I play golf with Joe Lyons (geography teacher) a few times a year, who would have thought it!

Hello to everyone returned to St john fishers last week for the first time in fifty years,my grandsons football team trains in the gym. The place just looks the same inside as when i left. I got talking to one of the fire staff who told me of this forum. i also had a look around, the chapel is still in the hall but it is used for storage now, talk about going back in time.

Does anyone here remember John Kennedy. I think he left St John Fisher in 1968 or 1969 - went to the Technical College. Alan

Hello Alan

 

Mike BRADSHAW here - someone mentioned you were a lawyer in the US?

 

I do remember John and also Neil Hollingsworth. In fact I regularly correspond with Neil via email. He lives in Vancouver and in 2009 my wife and I spent a day with him and his wife before embarking on an Alaskan cruise. He retired a few years ago and is enjoying life.

 

John passed an exam to go to the City Technical college didn’t he? I also passed that exam, but rather foolishly decided to stay at St John Fisher because I thought that I would have a better chance of making the Sheffield Boys U15 football team. It so happened that I became captain of the team and then went on to join Sheffield United. It would have been the same outcome had I moved to Central Tech - never mind!

 

If you read this post and want the email address for Neil, then I am sure that he would like to hear from you.

 

Best Wishes

 

Mike

Hi all,

 

Can anybody shed light on our times at the above school...my memory is vague !

 

I'm writing my autobiography and I want to input as much about my formative years as possible in Sheffield?

until or family.

 

I was born in Crookes Sheffield and lived on Damer Street next to the Children's Hospital until I was 3 years of age, and then lived at number 153 Fretson Road, Lower Manor until I was 18 as I joined the A

rmy and retired after 22 years at the age of 40.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi  Everybody

 

I left St John Fisher school at 15 years of age in 67 but cannot remember any students at the time and only a handful of teachers... can you help me?

 

Be appreciated as I'm writing my memoirs :)

 

I live in China at present.

 

At the time I was a very quiet kid and always wagged it with my sister Marie Glennon.

 

I've read al the posts so  that saved me a job of waiting for replies !! :)
