Kenton School Tie – Mark 2

By El Patron -

Kenton School Tie-smallYeah – I know it is slightly ever so off topic but our newest and dearest contributor, “fancythat” has donated this picture of her good self with the said Kenton School Tie. Just look at the lovely knot – tied to perfection as if the tie was made of the finest silk and hand crafted by Valentino himself. Look at the lovely unblemished skin with no carbuncles on chin nor cheek. Enjoy fellow Kentoners…..

    Many thanks Mensforth,my scurvy seems cured.Actually my Tie was bespoke and indeed made of the finest silk and was made by Vezzolani's of Italy! My hair was made of the finest straw, handpicked from the cornfields that is now Kingston Park.

    Yes it was called Wengers. Wengers for Wankers was the more common usage.

    I used to buy the free school meal tickets from those poor kids for half price so that they could buy tabs. I got fed AND had money left for tabs too - now that is intelligence - ne pas?

    I remember Wengers, the joke was they couldn't cope with cash, being used to vouchers from the Social and Provvy Cheques.

kenton bar football team 1974-75

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...)
