All the cool kids turned down the scholarships and toughed it out at Witton, Darwen Vale, John Rigby, Billinge....

I am the originator, 'ideas person', vision maker and leader of what has now become to be titled as The Old Blackburnians & Associated Partners, QEGS (1977-80), 'The Invincibles' Group of Friends.

I don't think any of the team actually went to Everton School but Park Lane Rangers used to use it to train - so a future Rovers player definitely graced the place in the late 70s (Mark Patterson)

Mid 80s Moorland were top of the tree, beat Pleckgate in the schools final on the hallowed turf in 1984. Captained by the best schoolboy midfielder at that time, Neil Otley, with the stardust added by the sublime talent of Craig Moss. We were some side I tell thee.

Ha, made me laugh out loud too: at the inaccuracy!

I presume your tongue was stuck well in your cheek, as if you were sucking a 2 inch diameter gobstopper, when you said that Gav! 😉

Meanwhile my mates were on Knowle Field (Moorland) puncing a ball about and playing cricket....did me no harm though and just sayin'........
