Raymond lived just off Eastbank road, forget the name of the road might be something like erskine.

 

Can anyone remember Gerald mullins? He died a few weeks ago.

John Dickinson moved to Canada in the mid sixties with his wife Pat and daughter jacqueline.

He got divorced.Pat returned to Sheffield in the 90's on her own.She died a few years later from a brain tumour.

As far as I know he still lives in Ontario.He must be about 70 .He was a giant of a man and never cuased any bother.

I remember old George Mooney always being in the Roundabout Bar under the old Grand Hotel reminiscing about the early days and his battles with Shillito who came to Sheffield to rid the place of the Mooney gang and the other gangs who were causing trouble in the 30's.

Could do with him around now to clean the city of the puny youth who think they are hard men becuase they have a knife in their back pocket.

Tony Mckenna is still a regular at owlerton dogs, he had a bad stroke about 10 or so years back but is ok now.

Him and Cowan were Bomber Grahams managers in his early professional days.

Mack is a greyhound trainer now.

Bill was no relative to Jack. There was two bill rogers in town.
