Not sure about my old School??
But, on a tangent a fellow member (Charlie Lines) of my running-club is a PE teacher at Bradford Grammar School, & was the subject teacher for both Brownlee brothers, & the Thackrays (the ex GB Cyclo-Cross squad/Pace Research riders)
He still keeps in touch with Ali & Jonny, & got an award recently for his coaching work with them

Then, my mother-in-law worked with Ed Clanceys dad for a few years (she still tells me that she did every time he's on TV) , & remembers this ginger haired scrawny kid coming into the Opticians where they worked asking for money for new tubs/shoes/shorts/bikes/etc.........

Not me, but my older brother went to St Ivo school when we were stationed at RAF Wyton...same time as Joe Bugner.

I was taught history by John Bailey - currently on Television with His Fishing in the footsteps of Mr Crabtree.
He was a brilliant teacher - taught me loads about.............. Pike, Perch, Bream etc!
He used to take us on History trips to places like Baconsthorpe Castle - which has a moat with trout in it.

Joking aside, he really was a good teacher (I got an O level!) and if you watch the TV programme you can see how good he is at encouraging children.

Peter Beardsley (Newcastle United & England Legend) was about 5 or 6 years ahead of me in my High School, his Dad Sammy used to go to my local aswell a few years back....infact most of the times he would end up getting barred for attempting to punch fellow drinkers (usually a third of his age !)

Not a pupil, but a teacher:
