Lesser mortals 7-Charlie Fox wears dirty socks

By ghost of mensforth -


Now this mysterious chap, who lived in Byrness Close, first came to prominance when we realised he was Norman 'Newman' Lough's new mate...I have no idea what his real name was(the fox that is) as he definately did not go to Kenton Bar School nor Kenton comp...he used to follow Newman around all the time, like a shadow, and never spoke, just grinned...he looked like Humphrey Bogart in 'the treasure of the Sierra Madre(a wonderful film based on a wonderful book by B Traven-recommended reading)
As to why he was called'Charlie Fox wears dirty socks' I am not sure...maybe he was really called Charlie Fox...maybe he wore dirty socks...I dont know, but what I do know is Mensforth deems him worthy of the 'Lesser Mortal award!...
Arise Sir Fox(wears dirty socks!)...
Anyone remember him or can give more details about this creature?

Here is a photo I found during more extensive research in a library... I remember the football team played for the 'Bagnall Cup' and played 'derbys' v St Cuthbert’s and also v Mountfield, North Fawdon, Wyndham, Montague and Snow Street (we and everyone else always thrashed Snow Street at least 12-0-their home pitch was at an angle of 45 degrees...) Note the' flag pennants' which were inspired by the Leeds United strip from the 1973-74 season on the socks of some of the kids in the front row...these had the numbers of the players on. the 10 first team players are all wearing the blue top with yellow hoop:the' subs' are wearing... whatever! It looks like they must have won the Bagnall cup that year! Anyone recognise themselves or any of the players?... (The tecka is Mr Brownlaw, a true gentleman...) PS:Photo not taken at Kenton bar school-note the basketball net-maybe taken at Kenton school?...) Kenton Bar Pyramid Appreciation Society

Name the cup. Name the year.   I know one of them - far right hand side, Machiavellian smile, lizard eyes, domed stupid melon hair - Phil Leaver.  He once played for Newcastle United.
