I used to fancy your dad. I lived in Fawley road and my mum used to make tea and toast for the lads on the white wall. My mother went up to school once and gave a teacher a mouthful for giving our class detention and Graham stood at the door cheering her on. Someone told me your dad has passed. If so I am sorry to hear that.

Yeah, he will have been gone 12 years in September - died at age 49 bless him.

 

It's so nice to read people stories about him (some to make us laugh and others obviously make us cry).

Never went to Burton Street school but had the pleasure of sharing some of my school years at Shirecliffe Secondary when the "refugees" got bused there after Burton St closed. Good goalie Barry Piearcey, heartbroke when I learned of Graham Lister passing. Used to see him tending to his pigeons as I now live near Burton Street. Some other names I remember, Billy Kemp, Paul Gillott. Can't seem to remember any girls from the class that left Shirecliffe 1965. Anyone jog my old memory?

Names I remember include Andy Wilson , John Fitzgibbon , David Farrell , Alan Barker , Mick Wilkinson , Lynn Weatherall and the Rotchell sisters , Peggy , Janet and Sharon. Saw Andy Wilson last Christmas , he's living at Upperthorpe these days. Saw John Fitzgibbon last year , he was living up High Green. Haven't seen any of the others for many years.
