They won top of the form ya know and one of the team members became a Lord He never won an election although he did try a good few times. Nothing like getting into the Westminster bubble via the backdoor ! btw Ruabon were always the tougher opposition helped by a pitch perched on top of a mountain |

Re: Nine Acre "Legends"
I'm sure he was a GP pupil. A bit ahead of me, though I was in the same year group as his younger brother.....whose 1st name escapes me for the moment as he suffered from the "famous relative" syndrome and was always referred to as "Colin Greens little brother".

At the time (late 60's, early 70's) the school produced the backbone of Wrexham Rugby Clubs successes, when they were a fairly efficient team in the NW, playing the likes of Birkenhead Park, Fylde, Sale etc, in pre league days. Thats my recolection anyway, though I agree also that Ruabon Grammar had very good football teams. |

I played football with Geoff(Colin coached for a short time too in 76 - 77 Black Lion Bersham ( Still have the pic at home). With reference to Terry Hennessey, I caught up with Terry in Melbourne a few years back and he was still in contact with Colin then. |

Re: Nine Acre "Legends"
Grove Park football team of the mid 80's took some beating.
Dave Jones, Shaun Edwards, Nigel Dodd, Pete Jones, Dave Bloor etc...... Surprised none of that team actually made it although a few went to the likes of Aston Villa after leaving school. Rugby on the Nine acre in January was always an experience with Brian 'squeeky' Watkins who was actually a sound chap. Rugby was never cancelled whatever the weather.Walking back up Chester road with your school shirt still open as your fingers were that cold you had no feeling in them to do up the buttons.lol....happy days. |
