I was at Monkwood Infants/Juniors from 1965-72. Thorogate opened during that time and based on where we lived I could have gone there but my parents decided not to move me. I think they initially opened it with just the younger kids and they then filled out the older classes as they moved up.
Phil played left wing and in Monkwood's own rendition of a Leeds United song in 1972 "Eddie the last waltz Gray" became "Hammy the last waltz Shaw"![]()
