parkydave Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yes that is correct slug he was released in 1969 in a swop with some Russians ,we had. My company I was working for sent me to do a repair on a crane and I used a news paper to sit on and that news was on the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darryl Nugen Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I think that Fred Revill's or his brother. Fred ran the newsagent in the gennel next to Wild's fishmonger. Can't remember his name but he had a voice like a foghorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougiep Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi has anyone out there got any memories of hanging out around the firth park area in the 50s and 60s . The dance venue at st Christopher's Bellhouse road was very good . hi Dave on here too are you? I remember going to a dance one time on the road where Margaret gandys mom and dad had the pub which escapes my mind at the moment , it was at a church hall on the right further up the road, They had a group on called Mark Stone and the Questors , Bobby Nutt took over from Mark later on. Any way we had some good times following them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firparnian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) That would be Gerald Brooke. He was arrested by the KGB in 1965 for distributing anti Soviet material. Sentence to one year in prison followed by 4 years in labour camps. He started at FPGS in 1949 and went on to teach Russian on London. When I was at FPGS (1959-1964) the Russian teacher was "Boris" McKay a really decent bloke. I was at Firth Park 66 to 71. Thought Boris the Russian teachers name was Haywood, can remember Jock McKay the PE teacher. Boris was also the author of several Russian Language textbooks I belive. Just checked on the FPGS website Boris was Alan Haywood Edited January 22, 2018 by Firparnian Further info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw him on T.V. tonight I recognised him straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
