I'd be very surprised if he stays on with Eustace. He'll end up rejoining the 'Dream Team' with Warrington when Warne gets another job. The fact that those 2 stayed on is because only Warne and Barker have,at that point,been sacked. If they had walked with them they would have missed out on a pay off. You might be right though Derby,it has happened in the past.

Don?t know much about the situation regarding Warne but it?s changed regarding Matt

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"

Yes my mind was slipping. I was at Monkwood Infants- mixed it up with Thorogate bcs it is at that end! I left Juniors for MGS the year you started Infants.
Loved Monkwood. Mexborough was - and remains - a helluva shock!!!!

Followed you to MGS 7 years later. I bet some of the 'old guard' were there when you was:

George Shields - Head of School
Dr Haslam - Head of Boys
Mrs. Williams - Head of Girls
Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Sharp - Maths
Mr. Mercer - RE
Mr. Jepson - Physics

The good old days when even the girls got the cane!

It always surprises me how my mother and father?s generation can remember who they went to school with.
I don?t in any way mean that disrespectfully but it is great how you do it.

Please don't remind me about ma Sharp! Loved Manny though. Doc was OK; my favourites were Brookfield and Fordham; had Taffy for physics, can't remember which variety. 🤣
I was invited back as a 'celeb' alumnus in 74-5 to give a talk to sixth formers about becoming a journalist. 🤣
School buildings all pulled down now and replaced with some breeze block crap thar would break your heart...

Is it just generational? 50+ years on I can still remember every teacher I had at school and most lecturers at Uni. I can also remember the name of everyone who was in my form at MGS for 5 years.

I remember Brookfield too. Had him for Classical and General Studies. Remember Fordham the English teacher but never had him. I was last back there for a reunion in 2000 before it got pulled down.
