SussexHoop said:He was in my year. When I was going through my lardy teenage stage, I still outran him in the 200 metres sprint ... well it wasn't a sprint, nothing like it, not sure it was even a fast walk!
As for the scraps, I remember bricks going over the wall between us and BHASVIC or whatever it was called then and the police patrols for a few days after. Also remember Kings Manor turning up one lunchtime and finding their path blocked by a teacher so they called it off! In fairness, it was probably Mr Feely!
Dick Knights Mumm said:I am afraid it was Fitzherbert. They were "educated" to lift heavy things.
No offence like.
butchy said:indeed, the butcher army terminated its associations with newman in 2003 when the majority of them left for bigger and greater things however the odd reunion every now and again brings out all the old faces

Tony Meolas Loan Spell said:Not in my day....
Dick Knights Mumm said:Maybe. But De La Salle had a "B" stream for those eventualities ........
Tribune Messala said:Oh by that you mean the lads who didn't achieve the highest grades in Latin and the Classics?

Only kidding...I left in '89 and it was the greatest year of my life!
Remind me of some of the names of the Brothers....Dick Knights Mumm said:That's the one. They didnt get to do the Greek option. That was a favourite amongst the brothers - that and the Greco-Roman wrestling.
Tribune Messala said:don't push me TMLS, remember I know where you work!

Dick Knights Mumm said:Brother Kieron - used to send us up the ropes to see whether we had left our underpants on.
Brother Athenatius - in charge of sex education. Particularly keen on checking you were cleaning your arse properly.
Brother Alyis (pronounced Alice) - they used to choose their "brother" names. Enough said.
There were some good ones - but I have forgotten their names.
DIFFBROOK said:Talking about hard kids, those schools had hard teachers as well.
I remember Mr Brown (history teacher) at Newman, if he thought you weren't paying attention he would twist your ears until you did remember.
Feeley was ok with me, but thats mainly cos I was kind of seeing his daughter.
DIFFBROOK said:I would have been 18 in 1984. Her brother was Dominic Feeley. I went around her house very drunk one night. Her dad came home separately even worse. Me and my mates were just drunken bums who scraped A levels.
Do you remember Paul Jeffery? He is my cousin.
Other names you may know are:
Pat/Andrew Walker
Sean Lees
Austin Gavin
Anthony Sheehan
