Great video Les. Recognised some places Dave T #21

I went to Crowcroft Park school from 1959-1966, when Miss Tumelty was the Headmistress. We spent countless hours playing in Crowcroft Park and would roam all over during the Summer, with no problems. All these scenes are very familiar.

I remember the 'Ohhhh Nooo' and 'It's a goal' for the footy. 99% of the time 'Ohhh no' was for City. Used to dread that one 😂

In hindsight , they should have bull-dozed Nelstan at the same time.

My auntie had a hairdressers on the corner of Homings Road many years ago, remember visiting her as kids and playing football against the big side wall, sadly she passed away about 7 years ago.

Listening to him makes me feel guilty for throwing an apple core at him when I was a snotty kid. Lovely interview.

All that beautiful countryside gone😢

My dream race transporter a coach these days with a historic stockcar in the back a nash stockcar!
