It's not the same now - but then again, where is?I was born in Morley Hall one Sunday night in 1950 when my Mum reported to the Maternity Home on foot. She walked down with my Dad from the Town End side of Morley.My kids were all born in Leeds during the seventies and eighties. At that time there was a choice between Dewsbury or Leeds, and I think Manygates at Wakefield.

Her name was Michele Foster. Whe I lived in Cardigan Mount I went to Burley Church school and then on to Kirkstall county secondary school. I do not recall your sister though we may have been at Kirkstall together.

I remember Danny Wilson think he had a brother Billy who was in the same year as me. I also played rugby alongside Paul Fletcher, he went on to play pro with Leeds. I heard he had sadly passed away about 4/5 years ago.

I heard he had sadly passed away about 4/5 years ago. Soz Carith, I meant Billy Wilson. D'oh... His brother, Sonny, was in my classes and we were in love. He'd buy me those sticks of spanish with the rings on the end. We'd get engaged every week in Argie Rd playground. HaHa.Paul Fletcher isn't dead. He's the coach for Carnegie (sp?).My sister and Denise were boozing with him some months ago.I didn't recognise him but don't worry, he is very much alive
