i went to Lostock High in Stretford in the mid 90s and it was all League, shame the teacher was a pie-eater. I was in the team for a bit and we won the lot. even played at the willows (but i wasn't picked and didn't play or travel

)

Trafford Borough...



i played on the under 11s!

pitch where we played was the middle of the athletic track.



and when did salford train in urmston/flixton? might have been before my time but thats where i grew up.

Keep up the good work fella.

Ah Lostock, I vaguely remember playing against them for Hope High in about 93/94 but for some reason I had them down as being from Wigan!!!

Then again it also took me about 5 years to work out Castleford weren't Castlefield

Indeed he is.



Very under rated IMHO, a bit of an unsung hero.



Nice bloke too.

Couldn't agree more. I've always liked and rated John



Sounds like really good work at Stretford High and hope there are many more to follow

Need to add ...

coached for 25+ years at a soccer-mad school ... no help until the last 5 years,

was formally told on (at least 20) times that I had to stop - if anyone knows me this was fuel (I was Union Gen Sec in my last 5 years),

never knew (outside DoE) more enjoyment, more reward, more support from pupils and parents, more sheer why-we-teach,



GO FOR IT



best years of my life.

First games tomorrow!



Stretford Year 7s in the North West Emerging Schools at De La Salle in Liverpool!!!!!!!



Ill let you know how they get on!

Is there much RL played in Partington-I used to live there but nothing existed-went to Broadoak

John's a great fella and family friend. He is Salford through and through.

You're right fella... John Blackburn and the team do a good job for the Reds in the schools and the community, glad stuff like this is working out in Manchester and further, lets hope it continues

during the 60,s, 70's and into the 80's
