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!)
