Listening to Roger Bennett on the cold winter mornings as a teenager, hoping to hear St Brendan's was closed for the day. I assume you were a keen rugby player, then.

Listening to Roger Bennett on the cold winter mornings as a teenager, hoping to hear St Brendan's was closed for the day. From this, I assume you are a former Sancti Brendani ? One of the UK's top rugby schools back in the day (late 60s/early 70s) There were some well-known skinheads/nutters at Brendan's in the early seventies. Virtually all were City die-hards, frequently seen involved in the action on the East End and at away games. I suspect that only their rugby commitments prevented them attending more regularly. They enjoyed a ruck and were definitely not saints ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
