Also remember some others such as all the Smiths!! AP (andy)(remember all that bloody dosh!!!! and all with only 1 good eye if you remember - twenty pound notes all over Queens Road!!), PB (Peter) (R.I.P.) I (Ian - the only lad in the year that never had a fight but had a reputation as a hard nut!! - not true though cos Ive given him a few good slappings since and hes soft as sh.te!! Few others have as well over the years which even I was surprised at!!), M (Mark I think??) and another A (Andy I believe)

Ah thanks for that Bobs. I have only just joined the site and was looking through this thread when I came upon this comment on me.

I remember Gary robinson really well as I as one of the six kids who got struck by that lightening and spent the night in hospital. I don't live in accrington anymore but it's nice to know that even after all this time he hasn't been forgotton.

[moynab]

I remember that day lass as I was one of the six that spent the night in the hospital after being struck. We were in all the papers so if you get in touch with the sun or the mirror they will have an item on this. I don't live in accrington anymore but ill never forget that day. So sorry about your uncle x
