Pete Frost still lives on the Valley - Spotswood Rd. The last time I saw him was at the funeral of Alan Fell's wife, who sadly passed away after a long illness. Alan was my best man, and I was his. We used to DJ together at the Royal Oak at Intake (mid 70's) and quite a few other pubs around that area.

Before that, my "partner in crime" was Philip Brook (pud) who you may remember. He was a "rocker" and had some quite large cc bikes in his time. He lived on Fleury. Unfortunately Phil is no longer with us either.

Mick Siddall is another name I recognise, he had a sister called Christine who I had the hots for at one stage - though she didn't fancy me !

We used to play a lot of footie at the bottom of Hurlfield hill (before they altered the road and took the bend out). Does the name Trevor Fox ring a bell ? He used to live next door to Pete Frost on Plowright.

I'm still on the Valley. These days I live on Gaunt. Mum lives near the Far Lees pub (sadly now closed) and my sister is also on that side of the Valley.
