Myself, Jim Prior, John Davies, Robert Skiffington was at Tommy Moore later on and played for Rugby Team there.
Met up with John King at HJHeinz a few years ago.
Bumped into John Lydon in the Brocket last year.

Hi John
Did you live in Snowden Ave Worsley Mesnes, and did you have 2 sisters...Ann and Nora? If it's you I was at school with Nora and Marie Yates...I think Ann was the oldest. Does the name bring back any memories? I am still in contact with Marie but not heard anything of Norah.

Sure about boardman ? That looks awfully like me

William, you may be right. In fact, the boy standing back right looks like the identical twin of the boy sitting middle three from right! The name Blakely brings to mind a very swift runner. Hope you are well.
