Not city players but Andy Ritchie and Steve Heighway went to my school Mossely Hall in Cheadle. Not bad considering football was a no go until 5th year due to it being a good old fashioned grammar school.
Andy year below and didn't particularly stand out in the quad. He was however committed at city's training ground in Cheadle,there every night just smashing a ball left foot,right foot against a wall.
"Mossely Hall in Cheadle"
Don't remember that School - I went to Cheadle Hulme School (MWCOS) - the local village school was called Hulme Hall.I was a boarder and 95% of the boys at school were rags.
We didn't have any City players, but a few of the City reserve players played in special football games organised by the teachers.
In those days (1960's) we were not allowed to play football at school - Rugby only.
One of my teachers was a City fan and he used to give me a lift to away games (including the Newcastle 4-3 game!)
Was part of the old Cheadle Grammar School, which eventually evolved into Moseley Comp and then into The Manor and eventually turned into a sixth form college. My old school too and as far as i know the above mentioned were the only pros that the school produced. Oh wait, someone called Hughes who played for Reading in the late 90's?
