Frederick Bird School

Simmo boxed initially for Standard Triumph then for Edgwick Trades and Labour in Cross Road, Foleshill. He was a Warwickshire schools champion so was very good. He had two brothers, Peter and Brian.

Just learned of the sad news that lifelong friend Barry Aldrick has passed away. Farewell Baz you were always a "cut above the rest"

Lived on King Edward road in the 50s went to Freddie's at the same time as Barry , remember him as being as good kid always had a smile on his face.I always used to go up the road to get my hair cut at his dad's barber 💈. It's amazing now when I think back how time seems to have gone by so quickly and now here I am at 76 . Rest in peace Barry!

I lived in Ranby Road and knew Barry from Freddies. When I moved to Dorset and used to return for City games I often popped in for a chat and a haircut. He was a big pal of Pete Waterman. Rest in Peace Barry.

Hi All Both my parents went to Freddies, so was just wondering if anyone remembers them, Robert McAllister & Susan Holland, they went in the years from 1948/49. Thanks

Hi Debbiedebs, welcome to the forum I hope someone can help you.

Hi Helen I do hope so too, any info would be nice.

Information and memories on these subjects tends to come in dribs and drabs. It's frustrating when people miss each other. We sometimes encourage people to message long lost posters via the site email (not your real email address) but people don't always recognise them as legit when they arrive months later or for some reason they don't respond.
