Hi, Neil, Centaurs team, I can name nearly everybody on here. How are you? Spoke to your brother when he was deputy Head at Shevington High.My two eldest went there.Think he said you lived in Leigh at the time. Derek Bell died in hospital in Brisbane in 2011 after a short illness. I visited him twice when I went to see my daughter in Oz.

back row Hartley seed, Mr Feilden, Jack Eaves, Phil Warrington, Derek Bell, Fred Hosker. front row, yourself, John? Harrison, John? Southern, Harold Boardman, Lot Crompton, myself and Gerard Baldwin. Hope that is correct, apologies if I am wrong. Brings back some happy memories but like you I could have done without the cross country runs. Good to know that some of us are still around. All the best to you.

I remember those awful country runs but they must have kept us fit as we had a good football team Just wondering why I was not included on this photo. I still keep in touch with Harold Boardman. Remember you Neil as well. I live in Nottingham after marrying my wife who came to Hags she lived in Leigh.

Hi Neil good to have your comment and that you are still around. Where are you living now. Although I live in Nottingham I am still a fan of Wigan rugby and like to keep up to date with their matches. My younger brother lives in Leyland and has a season ticket so He keeps us in the news.
So glad you replied good to keep in touch school days were a good time.

Hi Neil I went to Keele University needed on the football team to join the rest of the ones from HAGS - Mike Nuttall Gordon Crompton and Harold Boardman. I keep in touch with Harold but don't know where Gordon Crompton is. Apparently Mike Nuttall died a few years ago. Anyway its good to know that some of us are still around. I will try and keep in touch with you. Thanks for your reply.
