St Mary's Primary School Football Team 1961-1962, Queen Street, Dover, Kent, UK

The 1961-1962 St Mary's Church of England Primary School Football Team, Queen Street, Dover UK.

I'm on the far right of the middle row, Kerry Manning is second from the left in the back row. I think Mr Bob Winter - Class 1's teacher - took this photo.

I remember the faces but can't put names to all of them:

Nigel Fitz (BR1 = Back Row, 1st from left)

Kerry Manning (BR2)

John Dennis (BR3)

Derek Cole (MR1 = Middle Row, 1st from left)

David Thomas (MR3)

Ian Luff (MR4)

John Latter - Me! (MR5)

John Edwards (FR4 = Front Row, 4th from left))

The football strip was dark and light blue (if I remember correctly)

If you recognize anyone then please let me know (jorolat AT gmail.com)

Kerry Manning, whom I haven't seen for nearly 30 years, joined Panoramio a couple of days ago to leave a comment on one of my other school photos. He also sent me this photo and then promptly disappeared again - come back!

There again, he knows me so you can hardly blame him... :)

My 'historical' (or hysterical) photos currently include:

Queen Street (aged about 2)

Belgrave School (aged about 6)

Dover Grammar School for Boys (aged 12 or 13)

Other photos appear under the "John Latter" tag.

More historical (or hysterical) photos of myself taken between the ages of 16 and 19 (ie 1967 - 1970) while I was an "Apprentice Tradesman" at the Royal Corps of Signals Army Apprentices College in Harrogate, Yorkshire, training to be a 'Radio-Relay Technician':

1) 67C Recruit Squadron Group Photo

2) 67C Recruit Squadron Close-Up

3) Senior Term 1970 Group Photo

I had forgotten to previously include this photo of me in the North Center Bastion taken in 2007.

John Allister is second from the left in the front row. He also appears in this 2009 photo of Dover's New Street.

I've set up a Facebook Group for ex-pupils who went to St Mary's Church of England Primary School or St Mary's Church of England Infant School when they were located in Queen Street.

Please visit the group and leave a message: St Mary's C of E Primary School, Queen Street, Dover.

While I'm here, this is my personal Facebook page.

I've uploaded three photos to my Images of Old Dover Picasa Web album:

St Mary`s Primary School, Queen Street

Fox`s Sweet Shop, Queen Street

St Mary`s Primary School Football Team 1961-1962

The images aren't very good quailty, but anything is better than nothing :)

I'll also be adding these two images to my Flickr Photos of Old Dover album in the next day or so.

It was very sad news to hear that John Allister passed away just before Christmas, 2009.
