I remember we both scored in the 3rd year form final, and were met with some disapproval afterwards by the "unwashed" from lower school.....good days!!!! Another story is I once visited a coach (wifes friends boyfriend at the time) who was coaching at Colchester. Joined in with a training session with their reserves. Anyway he was a big Keegan fan and gave me his book to read...nearly choked on my tea when I read the first chapter...Keegan doesn't like you does he???? Although a S/T holder in North I never seem to see (or at least recognise) anyone from school. Maybe they see me and do one!!!! No Keegan is certainly not a fan I am just up the road from Bamford at weekends. Owl Stork, let's try to arrange a meet, will PM you when back in UK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain..... I used to revise on the playing fields in between playing tennis to get some light relief, wonder why I didnt get straight A's..... I think I only did 6th form to play footy and work out what I wanted to do. Ended up OK I guess. I remeber Carl joining the police cadets and being jealous of how he had it all worked out.... It may sound crazy but you and Owlsman were actually quite fortunate. One of the poor sods in our year (Michael Denton who had a sister Judith two years younger) lost his mother at the age of 13 and then the night before his A'levels his father keeled over and died with a massive heart attack. Poor bugger still came in and sat the exams but he genuinely looked like a ghost, obviously in a complete state of shock. Never saw him again after that even though he only lived round the corner on Ventnor Place. No idea what happened to him.

Mr Bullivant? Top lad he was. A nice kid, and I hope he stayed nice too. Remember chatting to him on that school reunion site thing that went boobies up. No idea what anyone is doing now. Sorry to hear we were both in the same boat, not a great situation to be in as a kid, watching your whole life falling apart, wondering why parents no longer wanted to be with you. Really working hard to make sure it never happens to my kids. Don’t always get on well with my Mrs but love my kids to pieces, and wouldn’t leave them.

Really working hard to make sure it never happens to my kids. Don’t always get on well with my Mrs but love my kids to pieces, and wouldn’t leave them. Sometimes that situation is forced upon you though. It was to me. In my case the kids (very young at the time) obviously sufferered, but they werent exposed to the arguments, distress, recriminations and general bitterness which ultimatly they think they are responsible for. My lad had anger issues early on and struggled with the changes, but kids are resilient and if they don't see the worst of the conflict, they get by quite well. They certainly shouldn't be fed hatred or used as a bargaining tool. That really does play with their minds. All separating parents should get free counselling advice, for the sake of their kids, if not themselves. I don't know what the procedure is for kids who have lost parents, but I would imagine there is something in place. Anyway, on that subject, my lad is great at football, but prefers to play rugby. So does my daughter! Any advice FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre all excited trying to impress the new kid :) You didn't go to Abbeydale Grange, therefore you're unworthy and classed as one of the great unwashed. There is a hierarchy of Sheffield schools, and Abbeydale Grange was ranked no.1. Which school did you go to? Just so I can rank it for you, I have the list in my possession.

Ranked 476th out of 500. Seemingly its plus point was sex education. Then goes on to name a milf and an address in Jordanthorpe centre where this took place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
