Speaking of old friends does anybody remember Tez Beardsmore. Jet black hair like a ted. He married a lass from Royds street about 1966. Think he had twins. Called them Paul and Paula after the song. Was best man at his wedding but havent seen or heard from him since.

Yes you are right, he was called Beardsworth., I knew he had a younger sister but didn't know any of his family apart from his dad. Since this post I have found out that he has passed away. I lived on Royds st 1966 to 1968. Number 76.

Dont think so Dave, he married a lass from of Royds street area. Cant think of her name but she worked at Higham Mill with Maureen Wallace, Irene Southworth, to name just a couple. They married March 67. Then had twins. Paul and Paula after the song. Last saw him in 1968. He was a bit of a rebel but he was always ok with me.

Terry was a great guy,he use to be very good with us as was the rest of his family.
He died in 68 or 69 and yes he did take his own life,I remember it clearly.

Yes you are right,he was in and out of the nick quite often but no doubt he was still a great guy.
