Holes in the vicar’s socks

I was born in 1939 in Dollis Grove I went to Bandywood Cresent primary school and finished at Peckham secondary modern school ( Kings Rise also Kineagle if my memory serves me right) till I think `55 or `56. I played football for Peckham with a great bunch of guys who I will mention just incase someone knows them, John Conlon, Ray Sturch, Maurice Haycock, RayPrice, and the most famous one who went on to make his name at Villa Park, Arthur Sabin. My teen age years were spent at the Kingstanding Settlement what a great place that was, a Mr Blamyre was the the man that run the club he was a dedicated club leader and I will never forget him. My wife of 51 years Daphne and I were married at St Lukes in Oct 1961 by Rev Hendrik Loysen, a down to earth and loving man. My wife and I still recall that when we kneeled at the Altar behind the Rev he had big holes in his socks, as I had many holes in my socks in my growing up I related to the Rev as that the way it was after the war.
