cheshire_red Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Cotham, same as Red Goblin and Dolman ........ I believe. Same year as Gary Mabbutt, two behind Kevin.

Guest Neo Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hengrove School - highest truancy rate in the country I'll have you know...... And they insist on beating up on catholics! I went to St Bernadette's opposite Hengrove. Like most schools in the Hengrove, Knowle, Whtichurch areas it is prodominantly city fans. Whenever the blue and white quartered shirt came out at P.E., that person tended to get tackled without the ball more than most!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Monks Park, bit of a mixture really, some red, some blue, although in my time there the Gas were doing a little better than us (i left in 92) so it wasnt the best of times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
