Chris Slater 0 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Chris Slater. I worked at the ROF from 1966-1970 before moving to British Rail, played on the football team, Alan White was the coach. Anyone else work there around that time ?

LizzieM 9,497 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Welcome to Nottstalgia Chris. My Dad Geoff Moss worked there at that time. He also played in the football team but it would have been before your time. He was friends with Alan White, wasn’t he Lord Mayor at some point, or at least something to do with the City Council.

LizzieM 9,497 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Chris, I remember my Dad going to Hillsborough and /or Villa Park with Alan White to (obviously) watch a game but don’t think I ever met him. A Nottstalgian who hasn’t posted for a long time, BeestonMick I think, was at ROF and probably about your age. He posted a football team photo I think. Try searching the ROF threads ..... Chris, if you do a search on this site for ‘Royal Ordnance Factory - Nottingham’ you’ll have lots to read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
