bigchids   10 #136 Posted April 24, 2012 Hi, My father is John Chidlaw and I can safely say he IS NOT DEAD. He did have a heart attack a while ago now and he is not in the best condition but certainly not gone yet.  If anyone does have any stories to tell or any messages for me to take next time i go to see him i will be happy to take these with me.  It is nice to see so many old school names mentioned in this thread and it has brought back loads of childhood memories.  Cheers Young John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
spider1 Â Â 11 #137 Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) I'd be interested to know more about the Morgan character. I would have been 8 in 1969, so he was before my time. However, I have heard tales of the man's lethal prowess with the "nut" [head- butting]. I was told that he was very stocky, of medium height and absolutely fearless. If Deadgobby, or anyone else has some background details, I would be pleased. I was also told that Morgan once took on a huge opponent, and virtually climbed up the guy to deliver the fatal blow. Which area was he from? Did he work in the market? Â Ray Morgan has a caravan at Short Ferry :hihi: He was a building trade worker and carried hod to bricklayers Edited April 24, 2012 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I have had word from time to time over the past few years from Cliff an associate of your dads. I knew your dad when he was very young & living on Leppings Lane at Hillsborough yes that long ago, his mum was a very nice lady and worked so hard even though she was very ill. John was devastated when she died. For a while he was a very unhappy boy. x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
