oudgastel   10 #553 Posted March 4, 2013 Hi blues1 Kind words  ---------- Post added 05-03-2013 at 19:06 ----------  Wow keith! I have searched for you on facebook before.Out of all the many friends I had when I was younger, you was 1 of the best.A (proper pal) I have such fond memories of the times we shared together and often think back to those special days and snigger.What thieves we were lol.I told a couple of tales about how we got caned together on facebook brushes north group and asked if anybody knew of your whereabouts.I heard that you had broke Barbara Nolans heart and how you had brought a real fit bird to brag off in the Penguin from the Netherlands.Of course Ialready knew that because I was there that night,her name was yoke spelled joke I believe and that was the last time I ever saw you. keep in touch x ---------- Post added 04-03-2013 at 14:50 ----------    Got a few oldtime friends on f b glyn rhodes and teapot to name a couple remember when he nearly got his tit shot off with soggy tissue in your house.The pop factory was a good earner for the soda syphons especialy the gold ones. What about that day when i had just burnt that yammy fs1e off and the kid punched me in the side of the helmet,You put your ap50 on stand(MOST ENJOYABLE BIKE EVER) and thundered swinging blows from all angles so that he blindly shot his clutch out straight into the path of an oncoming bus and nearly got himself killed lol.Him and his 2 mates looked down from their safe haven on the top of the hill and decided naaaah we dont want anymore of that.You was a force to be reckoned with that day and I have ****** myself laughing about it many times.You was my heroe that day Bernie "Top Marks"  Hi Pete (blues1) Nice to see you’re alive and well. I have seen that you have a lot more threads on the forum, when I get time I will read them to see what you have been up to. Don’t tell the readers all of our escapades; we don’t want them to think we were anything but model firth park pupils, ha-ha Like the rest of the people I could probably sit here all day reminiscing over our school days, as you can see from my posts I don’t add to it very often but enjoy seeing all the names go by of people we grew up with. It’s a shame to see that brushes has gone, all the pubs around shiregreen have disappeared. Where does everybody go for a drink? Where is teapot living now? I hope he has forgiven us for shooting him, if you can remember he got shot at school also, don’t quite remember who brought the air pistol to school but can remember he was relieved he didn’t get grassed on. Your right we did have some fantastic times at Firth Park and after on the bikes, in the summer I still ride around on a bike here What have you been up to for the last thirty years, married, kids etc? I will take a look on fb via someone’s account, maybe that’s the best way to get in touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PAL215   10 #558 Posted March 27, 2013 Failed 11+ and went to Hatfield House Lane which as we all know merged with Firth Park. Like many have said on here I went to the North building for the first few years then Brushes for the latter all in all was there from 1967-1972. Who do I remember? Quite a few as follows: BOYS John Senior,Joe Johnson,David Hickey,Graham Senior,Paul Scarratt,Mick(Simmo)Simmonite,Ian Cotterill,Phil Neville, Ian Hayes,Ian Rollinson,Dave Mallaband,John(Mash)Marshall R.I.P..Danny Elmer,Martin Lambert,Paul(Oscar)Alderson, David(Stag)Steer,John Barnes,Dennis Slater,Mick Oxley,Jimmy Godfrey  GIRLS Beverly Senior,Kathryn Cawthorne,Sue Robinson,Carol Lockwood,Valerie Cox,Linda Hickey,Linda Nolan,Marylyn Frost,Karen Richardson,Jean Holland,Maureen Baxter,June Goddard,Diane Butterfield  TEACHERS Tom Lockwood, Revitt,Goldthorpe,Jack White,Pete Adams,Jennings,Bradbury,Mrs Bugg,Copley,Dan Jessop,Jackson,Pop Senior,Sherwood,Staines and of course Spike Johnson who once took a bunch of us to Birmingham one Saturday to see The Owls play City and he did not even go to the match himself.Thas the measure of the man he was.  I emigrated to Canada thirty years ago but still keep in touch with John Senior and Kathryn Cawthorne(who are married),Ian Hayes and Carol Lockwood. We all get together when I come home for visits. I'm sure more names will come to me and will add to the list later   Well I remember most of the names listed here including my own, we were all in the same year that stated there in 1967. So putting my Sherlock Holmes head on I'm going to have a go at your identity and say that you my friend are Mick Jeffries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
