Does anyone remember the 1967 - 1972 year group at Ellis Guilford ? We had a great football and cricket team during this time. We reached the final of the u16s county cup final and played against a team from up Carlton way. They had three Forest apprentices including one who played for Notts County for about ten years. We had some really good footballers as well but never pushed by the school like they would be these days. I remember turning out for the half past nine cross country races organised by RMClarke then playing for the football team then going home and playing for Parkside

I remember Jonny one eye and on first day at Ellis Guilford got rulered with Barry Moss on the back of our knuckles by ms manterfield who was deputy at the time. She was about 80 then. No idea what we did. Barry Moss won the English Cross country title - then went on to represent Notts AC. Best teachers were RM Clarke - science. Not to be confused with the other Clarke who taught Geography. Frank Hunt ran the football team - still alive I understand in Wollaton - Admiral Rodney. Dan Appleton - good historian though.
