The Leaning Spire of Scholes is very prominent in the background.

What a coincidence Reverend,i was on site yesterday on the school roof,

is that a young joe morton front row second from keft

Derek Toothill was never ‘young’ – he’s that old when he went to school there was no history!

yes Joe Morton in front row and ‘jack’ Toohey in back row

very sad to hear this week of the sad loss of Terry Berry – he always had a smile on his face
remember him as landlord of Clarence and later did he also go to the Ben Johnson?
His brother Tommy has a place in Scholes history – the first ever landlord of the Ball & Boot (Sams)
i think he went to Oz
Farwell Terry – top bloke – RIP

I worked with Derek at Halliwells (Bottlers) Wilcock St.back in the sixties.

A young Phil Leyland, fourth from left, back row...

I never knew Derek give less than 100% whenever he pulled on his boots.

front row right is Cliff Baxter a lad i played with in the early Plessey team

Toothill couldn't catch fatty Barker, Terry the horse or Alan Pye never mind a ball. I hope he shaped better when he was at Hansons on the milk or there would be broken bottles all over the place.

I did'nt know anything about the above comment,till Joe Morton told me in Asda,but I will be lucky to get even money at the bookies as to who it was. He will be all over Tootill like a rash, and buying him ale when he goes in the dog.He has more faces than the parish church clock, and a roofing firm. If I was having a bet, I would put my money on Pengy

not me mr mosky, it has a air of thornley, that comment
