Nice photo Derek. I remember all these lads, although they are a couple of years younger than me. I left Poolstock School in 1952.
Derek, where are they now? I used to see Ronnie Pritchard and I seem to remember that Stanley Heyes died some time ago
Derek, I look forward to hearing from you.
Sadly Jimmy Donahue died many years ago, he didn't live long enough to see his beloved Wigan Athletic get into the Premier League
hi Jim,
Sadly agree with jack (second comment) Jimmy passed away as did terence Touhey. Don't know of whereabouts of anyone else. But like yourself would love to know where many people from my past are. We must get together for a coffee one day.
what sadness to see this picture, Ronnie or Ronald as he was known at home, died last year , and the worst thing was only me and his friend attended his funeral.
What a great photo of my old classmates. Had not seen this photo before but sad to read that some of the lads have passed away. Jimmy Donahue was a good friend and I spent quite a bit of my youth with Ronnie Pritchard. The only lad I have seen and spoken to during the past couple of years, is David Kenyon who like myself was not a footballer. Is, I wonder, Derek Wilde still blowing on that SAXOPHONE??
Derek, nice to see your comments. still have the saxaphone but sadly don't seem to have the puff these days. Hope you are keeping well .
