mattjon Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 In the early 70,s men were a rare breed at Totley College. Does any body know the weherabouts of these endangered species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyhill Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I started there in October 74 and left in 77. Used to play football for college with Rob Poole, Gerry Gott, Keith Adams to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Rob Poole (from Stoke?) was going out with a girl in my geography group. very mature and solid as I recall. I'd imagine he did very well in his career. Keith Adams -didn't he have black hair and was captain, if my memory serves me well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyhill Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Not sure about Keith having black hair. He was from Liverpool as I remember and went out with a girl called Wendy Roberts. I can remember Robs girlfriend (now wife) but not her name. Rob is a Head Teacher now as was Keith and myself. In fact many of the lads at Totley went on to become Heads or Deputies - Nigel Kingdon, Ted Elgy, Gerry Gott and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 The name Ted Elgy rings a bell. Not surprised about Rob and (? Cathy, long hair) getting married. in all honesty (and I am sure they would even more blunt about this), i really shouldn't have even been at ateacher's training college. I'd felt pressurised to go there after getting inadequate grades to do Geography at Sheff Uni. Of course, these days there are so many other further education options than then. Leaving at the end of year one was sensible from all standpoints and going to work at River Don steelworks did me far more good longterm-it helped the growing up process! Guys like Rob seemd exacatly what one imagined a teacher should be. Solid, dependable, upright. I hope they have achieved all their hopes in life. neverthelss, I have always believed since that time that no one should go into secondary teaching until their mid twenties-you need some life experience to communicate to the young.
