Same here LB as far as the schools go. I played rugby because hockey was reserved for the "non sports" group. The school played against other schools at rugby but not at hockey. missed playing football. I played in the junior school team at football for two seasons. I was deemed good enough to play in the team when I was in the third year of junior school. That was Grove Lane in Handsworth. We moved to Gloucester in the summer between junior and senior school and I got quite a shock when I found out football wasn't played at the school. Not totally true as many of us played football at breaktime and lunchtime nearly every day. There was an under 15 football league in the city and played that for a season after which I played Sunday league football. Saturday afternoon was for coming up the Albion.
Due to having to play rugby I never really got round to following the sport. I've never attended a game at Kingsholm or any other ground and rarely watch it on TV.
