Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Canny lass - it's me not checking what I typed again. I have corrected the above ie. - ...3 O's in their surname....

I know it's not quiz night but this one has just popped back into my mind - dormant for over 20 years. The question used to be - Which four footballers with O's in their surname have played for England. The question today will be :- Which five male footballers with O's in their surname have played for the England men's team?

Tuesday - 26/05/2020 How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together. Did you hear about the guy who invented the knock-knock joke? He won the 'no-bell' prize. I ordered a chicken and an egg online. I’ll let you know. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!

And I hope you are now going out into the garden and allowing nature to relax your thoughts and give that brain a rest 🌼🦋🍹

No problem Jim. I joined the 'memory playing tricks' club a few years ago. Have you looked at the photo albums in the Gallery - Historic Bedlington. We have an album for the Whitley Memorial school and here are two football squad photos, from 1959 & 60, of Tommy aged around 11. Link to the album :-

Now you got me thinking @Jr6468. I remember Tommy Cullen and his younger sister, Elsie, from No 6 but I can't remember a Maurice. Tommy was around the same age as me so would be born c1948 - Elsie about 4 years younger. My memory has hidden Maurice🙃
