Who was in the BSTC 1954 Rugby Team?
By Alan Scales
Sports Master Mr Weedal, may have been justly proud of this fine bunch of young men who brought (questionable) fame to BSTC. We were the school's Rugby 1st XV team 1953-54.
Can anyone help me identify them apart from the ones I know? David Cottingham (top row on the extreme right). Donald Sindon extreme left in the second row and John Wallace (third from the right, second row). Me? Well I'm, the tall guy ('Lofty' Scales) in the middle of the back row with the lavatory brush haircut (my Dad's description of me!).
I'd also like to contact other school friends not tough enough (perhaps?) to be in the Rugby team. Amongst others these are, Brian Eade who went to Canada and David Burtenshaw who lived in the Hove Town Hall where his dad was the caretaker. My email is: alanscales1@mac.com.
