I could spot my big brother Billy, John Kelly, Brian Clayton, John Mulligan, Brian Glazebrook and John Bullough. What is really strange is I recognise them and I was only born in that year (1962) and Mr Frank Vose was my Headmaster at St Benedicts too.
It is good to see old faces of school friends again, I was at Cardinal Newman with most of the lads in the photo, were I played rugby for the Jr /Sn team does any one have a photo of the Cardinal Newman team 62/65
The player next to Mr Pyke is Gaskell and the player next to me is Moore I think {sorry I dont remember your first names.The Player next to Mr Vose is John Hulton.
