I remember that football team some really good players among them, also as well as playing football
colin potts was quite a good singer.sorry to hear about Brian Mercer we were good friends as Fourteen year olds. the teachers name I think was Mr Hankie.

Hi Steve, I have posted on here the 1952 football team photo that your dad is asking for.
I remember your dad Fred Holland from our (happy times) school days, and recollect that he was always competitive and keen at any time when it came to a game of footie. Pleas give him my best regards.
