[Kinky by name]

Another good Xavs lad; was that the sixth-form college or the whole thing from 11?

Just the sixth form, 86-88. My secondary school St Pius was just round the corner in Denison Road. The monks were still in charge, though, Brother Cyril and Brother Philip. Someone told me a while back they're not involved anymore?
Apparently City have been sending a lot of the academy boys there, SWP and Nedum among others.

Bloody hell; Brother Cyril (he was there when I started in 1972) along with Brothr Norbert, Sylvester and Plunkett - fantastic names!

Brother Cyril was a Blue, of course :)

I went there after St Joe,s think i stayed 1 day or was it a week...did not like it.. so they moved me to St Francis in Gorton..we had monks there..they belted you with the knot on the rope... Thought it was Pope Pius not St Pius..

Never heard of it.
Xavs boys are already getting a 'firm' together on this thread, so watch out....
For my fellow Longsight lad, I believe the school was originally called Pope Pius X and then changed when he got canonised to St Pius X.
Loads of blues at that school. We literally had no grass to play on so after a few years. of slogging about Hough End and Merseybank, eventually when we played football against other schools, our home ground was the astro pitch at Platt Lane. Amazing for a young blue and as we had our games lessons and PE on there as well, we were unbeatable on the plastic, the Luton Town of the Manchester Schools League.
