Radford Boy 26 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Remember Percy Fox (Woodwork teacher), Mr. Fletcher (Technical Drawing), Stan Ashmore (Science), and Mick Gill (Arts) also a very good jazz muso. Trying to remember some of the others but the memory is going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 15,036 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Remember playing football against them for Padstow.........we beat them 10--0 on Wollaton Park........not one to brag, but i scored 4 goals in the first half.........our games teacher mr Taylor not one to let lads get carried away with themselves...made me go in goal for the second half.....and the goalie i replaced Alan Allsop.......scored 4 goals in the second half...........the game from about 1957 as always stuck in my mind for obvious reasons,can even recall most of our team,  Allsop, Marshall, Bell,,Leatherland,,Musson,,Hickman,,Dexter,,Jenner,,Churchill,,Disney,,yours truly,,  i'm wrong remember all eleven................lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,087 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 The 1933 Cottesmore School football team.  My Dad seated in the middle, assume he was Captain as he’s got the ball at his feet. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,087 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I don’t think there’s a thread for Nottingham Schools football so I’ll post this photo along with my dad’s school team pic. This is the Nottingham Boys team 1935.  Dad far left on front row .........bless him, he looks like he’s the only lad who’d had a wash that day.  Top right is the cousin (or brother?) of Bertie Mee, the Bulwell-born footballer and then Arsenal Manager Wonder if the Mee boy ever got his ears pinned back, poor lad. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
