Sports teachers at school

That's the one. Don't tend to recall too much about "Games" at school as the only time I excelled at sport was on the rifle range
Morley arrived late in my time at Arnold. In fact, I don't recall ever having anything to do with him. As for shooting, it never floated my boat but there were a few I recall who were keen as mustard and competed for the school.

got to be honest, I'd never really considered it but as I was crap at Rugby, Cricket & Hockey and hated Cross Country and discovered, wen I had to do it as part of the CCF, that I both enjoyed it and was good at it, so finally had an outet for my "sporting" talents. These days the only "shooting" I do is with a Digital SLR rather than rifle
 
Yep, smiler deffo did take some sport’s classes, he was my geography teacher and told me and mate we would never get our o levels vax we didn’t take our field work seriously, we did despite this 💪😂😂
He was a runner Marsden of I remember rightly. Often seen watching the Pool in the 80s. Mr Ken Gorman is a regular if you remember him
 
You mean the Baines teacher who got a kid crippled as he was too lazy to use safety equipment or the one who was boinking a pupil? The Baines “memories” on here are either snooty or dubious.
I’d completely forgotten about that accident until you mentioned it. After my time I think but I do now remember it being talked about.

I also seem to recall another pupil dying after an odd incident in the gym as well. Stubbed his toe and no one thought anymore about it but he died suddenly a short time later.
 
It wasn’t an accident, it was incompetence and years later I met his mom and told her what really happened. Who I really felt sorry for was Howard Clegg. Not really a pal of mine but a nice lad. His parents went out on New Year’s Eve crashed into a lamppost and were killed. Howard went to live with a grandparent. Also poor Graham Grimshaw who was picked on mercilessly by lazy teachers.
 
Our Sports teacher was married to the teacher who taught home ec and always used to have boxes of cakes from her classes for after football practise - always thought he had the perfect life until I found out about 20 years after school he left his wife to move in with his boyfriend 🙄
