Thommo's old school

[The Hitman]

I read somewhere that Thommo's old school in Kirkby had produced 4/5 European Cup winners.

Does anybody know what the school was and who the players were?

It's my old School too - Brookfield Comprehensive.

 

I can only think of three - Thommo, Terry Mac (attended Brooky and Roughwood, the other non-dom comp in Kirkby) and Dennis Mortimer, former Aston Villa Captain.

 

As far as I know that's yer lot.

Where was Peter Withe from?

Where was Peter Withe from?

I think he's from Walton - didn't go to Brookfield Anyway.

 

FWIW Mike Marsh went to Brooky, John Conteh went to Roughwood, Tommy Caton and Kevin Nolan went to St Kevins. I think Alan Stubbs went to Brookfield too, but I'm not sure.

Kev Nolan was a Bluecoat boy wasn't he?

St Kevins would have been knocked down before Kevin Nolan was even born

yeah, I thought Nolan was from Wavertree?

I'd left Kirkby by then, but according to the official 'Knowsley Borough' site, he's from Kirkby, and someone I know who went to St Kev's reckons he went there as well.

 

KAMF - that was my first thought too, but I suppose it's just about possible? Not sure of the relevant date comparisons.

St Kevin's was long gone when I was secondary school age, and Nolan's 4 years younger than me

Ta - that clears that up then! You got any idea who these other two CL winners could be? I'm stumped.

My old man went to St Kevs,said the nuns beat the sh*t out of him.

a propos of nothing, I've just remembered that the bloke who played Terry on Brookside used to have a market stall in the towny, which he still worked on every Saturday, even when the programme was at the height of its popularity
