SEB COE was 5 or 6 years above me at Tapton School in Sheffield.
I was in the same year as his brother Nick, and we used to do Cross-Country running for the school (would you believe!). He wasn't as good as his brother, but I've just looked him up on t'internet, as I know he was high up in LEVI STRAUSS. He's now worth more than $18 million .....s
RICK SAVAGE ....guitarist with Rock group DEF LEPPARD (they used to play at our
School Youth Club), was the year above me at school. We used to play Golf and Football together. I'll never forget him having a PINK Slazenger Golf Bag. Something I reminded him of the last time I bumped into him.
Seeing the piccy of LAURA DAVIES above ........ I used to play and practice Golf at my Club (Hallamshire GC), with her best mate ALISON NICHOLAS who went on to win the U.S.Open ......and I grew up playing golf alongside SKY SPORTS Analyst and Commentator 'my name's MARK ROE'
