I spent a couple of years there, so we must have decamped from the one in Castlehead about 1969. I started in 1969 and we weren't the first, first year at the new school so, as I said previously, I reckon the first intake at the new school must have been 1968.

rabuddies Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Camphill in Foxbar opened in August 1968 as did the Institution I was being educated in although it had turned into a High School? As for football boots on a blaze pitch - what else could you wear? There wasn't a range of sports shoes available in those days. My first football boots circa 1963 had a moulded sole, covered the ankles and a round toe (and were about two sizes too big so I could grow into them). I didn't get a "low cut", 6 stud boot (Mitre) until about 1967 and they lasted after leaving school and my final pair were early 70's (Slazenger I think) playing works football till the mid 70's when I knackered my knee and was told I could get a cartilage operation in about 7 or 8 years on the NHS if the pain got so bad I had trouble sleeping? They said it was the fault of low cut football boots. Only other options were gym shoes and baseball boots and try kicking a Mouldmaster with either of these. I did get a pair of Adidas trainers in 1969 (Samba?) but they were part of the "hippy a bit" fashion scene and the never kicked a ball at that price??

In a very literal way given what there is available now, blaze pitches were all weather. Mind you when the athletics track appeared that was my cue to start to find ways to get out of the horror of athletics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you when the athletics track appeared that was my cue to start to find ways to get out of the horror of athletics. Not always. I remember playing a school league match on a completely unplayable blaze pitch which was half covered in two inches of solid ice and the game went ahead. I was the only one without trainers and played with studs. I was like a newborn baby deer. Couldn't run, couldn't stop, couldn't turn. Amazing what kids were forced to play in those days.

That's the south end of Wardrop St. As I told you only last week (and you replied!!!) the north end of Wardrop St is the junction with George St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
