The plateau 2

By ghost of mensforth -
Here Is a photo I took many moons back looking west...Here is 'the plateau' which Lawrence and Bell made us run up and down for hours on end......wonder what the angle of the slope was?...about 33 degrees?...note the new metal fence...I dont know if the plateau is still there after the new build...
If it is and anyone one confirms this it will unlock a key to a true story...a tale about a notable alumni (from the post August 2009)...and a humorous incident that occurred on Sports Day at Kenton Comp on the plateau...!

    I remember well those fascist bastards - Lawrence, Bell, Cell and Thomson. Nicknames - Lawrence - none, Bell - none except ugly bastard, Cell - Deek and Thomson - beaky. I fucking despised them with a vengeance, especially Thomson the short-arsed beaky twat - especially them making us run about the moor after Christmas was over whilst they sat in the staff room smoking and drinking tea.

    Lesser fascists included Jenning's, Altringham and a few other lazy gym tekka tea drinking wannabe's

    Can anyone remember the names of the Irma Bunt wannabe's from the girls gym?

    If my comment is removed again I will move to another blog and close this one down.

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...)

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.
