[vitas]

42 years ago this week I started at Rowlinson. Hey Jude was number 1. Bullitt was at the cinema. Hawaii Five 0 was on the telly and my future mother in law worked in the Rolo kitchens. If only we could do it all again.

 

Chantrey, Huntsman, Osborne or Ruskin?

So do you remember all the other lads from that area that went to Rowlinson? It just appeared to be one year, then everyone went to Gleadless Valley again. I think they were Wombat, Alan Windle, Dave Wright, Glen Gregory, Max Bates, probably more. It was the last year that Rowlinson was all boys I think.

No mate, a few years younger and lived around the John O Gaunt pub, that's where all these lads were from, all good lads but mainly hard as nails, Wombat's whole family were hard, his older brother (Gary) was probably even harder than him!!! His younger brothers were hard nuts too. Glen Gregory and Dave Wright were hard nuts, but good lads.

 

I know Sands Close, near that steep road that goes up to the working mans club and Charnock/ Townend.

 

Was there a lad at Rowlinson called something like Peter Percival? Everyone called him Percy? from Arbourthorne I think, another hard as nails lad who hung around with Wombat and co in the 1970's, all Sheff Utd fans.

 

Oh, and happy 53rd birthday for tomorrow mate!!!
