Comments   Finished school half way through my A-Levels in 1978, much to the chagrin of Mr. Baddley, and went to work for the now defunct Congleton Board Company. ("But your future is with us ! " I was told by one member of senior management when I handed in my notice.) Left them in 1988 to join a Finnish Paper Company and have worked for them now in 3 countries. Moved to Chicago USA in 1993 but now I'm working in Helsinki, Finland until the end of 2002 on a global supply chain management project. While living in Biddulph (Brown Lees) I played football for several local teams (Biddulph Wanderers, Golden Lion, Royal Oak, Mow Cop Athletic) as a Goalkeeper with varying success. (Usually "how did he do that ?" rapidly followed by "why did he do that !!!") and I'm still playing in the Helsinki leagues ! Divorced once and remarried to an American (Mary), it was a Las Vegas wedding but I didn't have to dress up as Elvis. Still in touch, on occassion, with Sue Proudman, Swall, Gav Smith, Roy Johnson, Steve Edwards and others despite my romany lifestyle. Lots of others from the 70's at Biddulph High that I'd like to hear about though..........
