It is 60 years since Wolves beat Honved. I remember watching the match on TV. DW was playing for Wolves but there was great celibrations at Hanley High School the next day as DW was our Games Master. Apparently the game inspired the formation of the European Cup

Dally, it sounds as if you were at HHS at the same time as Tony Hartland, my husband, who left in 1955.
Interesting to have such a player as your teacher. Just a pity he played for Wolves!

Surreystokie, Don't recall the name perhaps he was a year above me. I have a panarama photo taken of the entire school in 1954 (I think) so he will probably be on that. Another memory of DW was one of our class tackling him in a game (he always joined in in the game period) and he went down clutching his anckle. This was the week before he was due to leave to play for England in the World Cup. Imagine what would be said about an incident like that today. JoeinOz, At last the Phoenix are playing well - Very unlucky to only get a draw against the Central Coast

Although their A-League licence is soon up and they are being instructed to confirm their plans for the future.

Denis Wilshaw was the guy who conducted our English Schools Football proficiency test in 1961. I was like a dog with two willies the day he presented my certificate. Still got it today. Then, at Hanley High 61 onwards, we had the pleasure of Selwyn Whalley, that well known Port Vale full back, as our games master. We became well acquainted with his "best friend" Sandy over the next few years. For the non HHS ex pupils out there, Sandy was a sawn off cricket bat that hurt like hell when applied to the nether regions.
