Yea Mick went climbing with jeff to matlock a couple of times, it scared me stiff, he was like a spider a really good climber. me well tried it a coupleof times then decided to stick to football, and the names you mentioned yes remember most of them, brought back memories, once i was sent from the southchurch drive shop back to abbey st on my push bike to fetch a skirting board ladder and a glass hammer, What a plonker i was, still gave the stores lads a laugh, long ride back though !!

Hi Mick, I remember Jeff, nice lad but he wasn't at my firm, I went from coop to firm called A.f.A Minerva worked on Boots site for 2 years, then to Hornet alarms in daybrook with them for 12 years, nice small family firm , they were bought out by a big company in 1981 so i started my own firm called central alarms, sold that in 1989 and went to Isle of Wight started central alarms again on island and retired in 2008 at 60 years young.

Hi Mick, yes phil was apprentice with me, bill Stringfellow was in charge ,in fact he interviewed me for the job , left to go into security and fire alarms before broad marsh started, worked with Dennis Fisher though, he always had a flask of coffee made with milk and when it was my turn to make the tea i would to have a taste ,lovely it was!
