Jimmy and Eddy (later Teddy) Sheringham, at the Sir George Monoux school in Walthamstow. Strangely we all thought that Jimmy was the better player at the time.

A year older, Trevor Hartley, played for West Ham and later the Football League's youngest ( at the time ) manager of Bournemouth. Tommy Youlden, various clubs, Captain of Reading, driven mad by Robin Friday. Most famous, two years younger was Charlie George, one of the few boys to get expelled. The creme de la creme however was in my year, Remi Adefarasin OBE :- His work on Elizabeth (1998) won him awards for Best Cinematography from BAFTA and the British Society of Cinematographers, as well as a "Golden Frog" from Camerimage and an Academy Award nomination. For his work on Elizabeth, he became the first black person to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.

The only ones I can think of was Columbo who got done for flashing his tadger in the woods and then went on to rape and murder a young girl in the early 80s.

Except it turns out that he was innocent and the lazy useless cops had fitted him up. He got out after pleading his innocence for 20 years.

Then there was my old buddy and partner in the three legged race who went on to be the oldest squadron leader in history to bomb innocent Iraqi civilians. We don't talk much these days.

Soz best I could do in the circumstances. At least the first one had a happy ending.

I could have mentioned Ally Dawson who played for Rangers but he was a few years above me but he died last week.

Is that why he got the nickname? Was it an all boys school?

Can't claim to be clever or famously related. We were, still are and always will be numb nuts.

Born in Bow, raised in Bow, proud of it. Hic!!
