On the Liverpool v Bootle Boys programme the Referee is J. Westby.
Presume Jack Westby ex LFC and later Warwick Bolam P E Teacher. I was a member of his "Red Hand Gang"
Sure other WB lads will remember that cruelty :lol: Ken

I remember Mr Westby, but don't remember suffering any cruelty from him. I had Mr Wilde as a Form teacher when I was there Ken, his party piece was to lift up your blazer and hit you on the back. My mate is certain that because of his abuse of power, he now suffers from back problems. :evil:

Deserved punishment Phil. Jack would whack you on your bare back if you messed about in PE. Hence the Red Hand Gang. He was one of the better teachers at that school. K
