Snow memories..

[DifferentClass]

The way that they’ve gone on about it on the news you’d think that snow has only just been invented! We used to get loads more of the stuff than we do now (and that’s not just nostalgia kicking in) and schools were closed because you had no chance of getting there, not just because you might slip and hurt yourself. And don’t get me started on snowball fights - there were some cracking (and vicious) ones between KES and Tapton. The Bolehills were brilliant for sledging, albeit dangerous too if you flew out onto Bole Hill Lane.

Ah yes, being pelted with snowballs by Silverdale kids... memries.

Remember going to Highbury in January 1968 to watch us play Arsenal. We had had heavy snow and all matches were off However Highbury was about the only ground in the country that had under soil heating so it was the only first division game on. As a result we were on match of the day. We drew 1-1 Colin Addison scored an equaliser for us if I remember correctly.

Yes, it was his debut. Andy Beattie was our assistant manager that season and he recommended Paddy to Harris
