teviotroadlad 1 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Do you remember anything of Mick (Michael Anthony) Morrell sometime known as Mog. Born June 1946. Went to Padstow school; left there and never went to art school as he should have done but ended up working on the buildings, then for Players in the late sixties/seventies. He went from being a bit of a rocker (messed about with bikes with a mate called John Crackle) to being a bit of a mod, if this is possible, and then a hippy. Played bass in a band called the Pepperlids in the sixties. Lived up Bestwood estate then moved down to Burns Street (near Arboretum?) Married in 1970ish to a lass called Jane (she was a bit posh so probably Jayne or even Gaynor) That's about all I remember of him. If you have any memories, his brother would be really chuffed to hear from you. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I knew a Tony Morrell who was an electrician for the COOP in the late 60's, would be that age That's the same feller, worked at Clifton Colliery for ten years where he started work, managed to get a "late apprenticeship" as an electrician. He's on my FB friends list if you want to contact him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teviotroadlad 1 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Ayup there, Picture (hopefully) of MICK MORRELL around 1970 getting married to Jane / Gaynor (?) somewhere in Nottm. previous to this he had Billy Fury style haircut in early '60s which became a Beatles moptop. In this picture it seems more than a little bit "Let it be" style. Does this jog any memeories? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Co-op Lad 1 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I worked with Tony Morrell for many years. He left the Co-op when his health deteriorated and I believe he then went to work at the City Council. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
