What's the nicest part of Manchester...

The school and the church. We left the area in '82. What's on the site now?

Mostly waste-ground. I'm not sure how far back it went towards Beresford Road, because there's a SureStart there now. Was the church pretty much on Hamilton Road, and the school behind it?

God, that street brings back some memories. Did my last year of primary school at St Robert's, just round the corner on Montgomery Road.

St Robert's was knocked down a few years ago.

Yeah; seen that on Google Maps. The school and the church. We left the area in '82. What's on the site now?

Sure start nursery.

I lived on Hamilton Road for 2 years so those takeaways were regularly used when I couldn't be bothered to cook. Was the Paradise on the opposite side of the road to the Blue Moon or was that the Mirage? One used to do a chicken kebab to die for.

I'm a St Robert's boy myself, lived three streets away off Hamilton/Beresford Road.
Dave and Gary Bennett grew up on Montgomery Road opposite the school, their mum was a big, fierce Jamaican lady who used to collect the tickets at Levenshulme train station.
Another pair of brothers who played for City, Darren and Jason Beckford, grew up a couple of hundred yards away in Clitheroe Road, also off Hamilton Road. Lived opposite my schoolmates, salford paul's cousins.
Proper blue area that.

You're not related to Nick of Turnbull Rd are you?

Nick Murphy? Not related but know the family very well, if that's who you mean. His brother is a good mate of mine.

Haha, Andy is one of my best mates. Did the Palace nightclub in Leve for years when he was a young lad. All blues his family, except for one of the twins.
He did Kevin Davies' wedding a year or two and was offered three grand cash to play another hour or so at the end of the night. The hotel manager wouldn't have it, though, even for a grand of the cut. Smurf was gutted!
