Famous people at your school

[nw42]

Cba reading the entire thread, so he may have been mentioned, but was in the year above Simon Mullock (Daily Mirror sports "journo") at AoM School for Boys (as it was known then)

Most other lads from my year are dead, junkies, wanted, or millionaires.

You should read the thread mate, he's been mentioned a couple of times, must be few from your school on here.

 

[Hooch]

Sir Ian McKellen
Ralph Little

Bolton School as well, can't be forgetting Mark Radcliffe either.

Michael Johnson - Chubby ex City player.
Michelle Keegan off Corrie I think.

 

[petrusha]

Mike Atherton
John Crawley
Martin Sixsmith
Ben Kingsley
Robert Powell
Sir Howard Davies (spoke to him at Blackburn)
Sir Nick Hytner (just stood down as Director of the National Theatre)
Chris Addison
Life President of City Sidney Rose
Ivan Gazidis (Arsenal CEO)
Michael Crick
Jim White (of The Telegraph not Sky Sports)
John Leech MP
Mark Chapman of 5 Live
James H Reeve.

Same for me. We could add the author Alan Garner, 19th century essayist Thomas de Quincey, various other county cricketers (David Green in the sixties, Mark Chilton, Gary Yates and Mark Crawley more recently), late businessman Israel Sieff, historian and TV presenter Michael Wood, and the late one-time cabinet minister Baron Harold Lever if we're talking about notable Old Mancunians, I guess.

The only ones I knew in my time (I started there in 1980) were Atherton, the Crawley brothers and Yates.
