Frog, I can recite all my teachers in my Junior school, 67 -71. As regards Spurley Hey from 71-76 I can name them all too. I suppose they just made an impression on you and you kind of never forgot them for their good and bad ways.

I can remember some but not all.

Did I hear the Derby fans chanting "We want Hammy!" tonight

You don?t anyways get what you ask for.

Funny thing how football changes! Press release shortly!

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!

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...

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.

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.

John Fordham died at Christmas aged 88. Lovely bloke as was Mick, whom I had for gen studies too. I think we were very privileged - it was a class above in education.
