Hi, Ronnie was a fab footballer and also quite a character. Yes I remember Stoke City winning The League Cup on 4th March 1972 - their first ever trophy. I'm sure he is missed by all his family and friends.

Don't know if anyone remembers Ronnie Spiers, 1966 to 1971, he signed as a professional footballer for Stoke City (quite a good team back then) - though I am not sure he played in the first team. He died earlier this year, after some time being quite ill. The main thing I remember about him was...

Bernie was my formmaster in 3, 4 & 5th years, as well as teaching me Geography. He christened me Mavis because of my long hair. I visited school, for the last time, after finishing University, in 1976 and saw him. We have been sending Christmas Cards for about 30 year - though hadn't received...
