Of course there are worse places! But not in Brighton & Hove!
Judging from your user name (Croydon) it's understandable for you to think that Scoome & Whitehawk are actually not that bad!
Yes. I always imagined that after leaving school he became a mercenary as this would match his profile.
I've no idea what became of him. He was a total psycho but by all accounts extremely bright. I think he got 100% in one chemistry exam.
You must have been at Varndean at roughly the same time as I was: I served my time between 68 and 75 - it was very strange to see girls around the place.

Taybha;2687524 Wilcox was indeed a top bloke cant remember his sidekick was it shavrin or something similar? i can only remember Chris G going to Fawcett then again i got chucked out with the misfits to the annexe[/QUOTE said:
Fawcett in the 70's was full of people who would fight if they outnumbered you.Not so keen one v one.
Elphick,Geard,Kenyon,Dunk etc came into this category.
Chris (Gus ) Dutton from Varndean was quite hard.He had his own song if I remember.
Those who I remember really being psycho were Chris Gargan (Fawcett),Kevin King (Whitehawk),Steve Hubbard (Stringer),Tim Lezzard (Falmer).Later on Adam Kerswell (Longhill).
People like Dave Woolgar (Whitehawk),Andy Gordon (Newman) Terry Shippam. Would have a go.
Lots of cowards around though at that time.
Groves,Rix,Bath,Boxall,Akehurst.Only ever fought in groups.
Families like the Boyles,Dawes,Davies,Cuttings seemed to have a conveyor belt of nutters coming through.
Nearly all in their 50's now and all grown up

Dave Woolgar was my best mate, we did everything together back in the day......anyone have any idea what ever became of him?? quite a few years ago I did start a thread on here asking if anyone knew of him or where he was etc, if anyone does please do let me know, that's assuming we are talking about the same Dave Woolgar? surely we must be
EDIT: I went to Fawcett and Whitehawk.

Jesus, you've just taken me back to a place that I thought I'd blacked out. I 'now' remember Steve Hubbard recruiting a team for an impending date with Fawcett on the Balfour football pitch. Unfortunately, being picked for this school team left you puking a little bit in your mouth! That was a bloke who definitely led from the front.
My kids go to Stringer now and it's currently like a Buddhist retreat compared to the legendary tear ups of the mid 70s. Until of course (linking threads) Michael Gove takes us back to the halcyon days of education.

I played football against this lot for two different year groups in the same year....both were crap and made Ronaldo less of a drama queen.
Rugby? You give them a hard tackle and they're silent throughout the game!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Hove County Grammar........In the late 60s and early 70s we routinely used to smash Roedean at both chess and bridge....
