Someone also mentioned Graham Spencer on the school Facebook page. Graham was my table head at school and a musician – trumpet and guitar. After school Graham became an apprentice electrician at DF Gibbs (next to the General Wolf on the Foleshill Rd. I joined after leaving school, although Graham was nearing completion of his apprenticeship by then. At 17, Graham got me involved with his local Bedworth / Bulkington Youth and Community centre. On a Saturday I would go over and meet up with Graham to do fund raising activities (mostly car washing). On one occasion we went on a sponsored walk and this article appeared in the Coventry Evening Telegraph because the leader of the centre – Geoff Dornan – walk the circuit backwards!
Footie Spencer – remember him well, used to be in my class. He did have a couple of other nick-names but could'nt possibly mention them on this open forum.
