I can't remember her name but I do remember she was German. The MYC is in the background distance. 1969/1970/1971? The Moreton Library is to the right. She too was one of the "beautiful people" of the time.

Trip to Wales. I am on the far right, white top. To the Dollgellau (spelling?) area. My overriding memory is sitting in the mini bus, en route, and watched a cow running along a field and I uttered, "Oh Look, Express Milk!". The occupants fell about laughing! Luckily we didn't crash!

Dec 08: Had email from Ray Jones - he is standing behind me in the pic!

The Cottage we stayed in, in Wales. Lying on the side of a bloody big hill - those are my feet! Size 9 steel capped boots, courtesy of Spillers, where I worked.

The Youth Club  Feb 2001

The entrance

Looking decidedly dilapidated, Moreton Y.C. I took this on July 8th 2003. The sign is precarious in its position, brickwork looking the worse for wear.

September 2nd 2008: Ken Bruffell: I have just stumbled on this site, I can only say what fantastic memories it has brought back to both myself and my wife Pam. I don't know if you remember us from the days of the Youth Club those days where brilliant, the dances. I can remember you with your red hair. I used to play football for the youth club. I married Pam Clarke from Fairmead Road back in 1975. We Lived in Moreton then moved up to Greasby. We are now retired and spend most of our time in Spain. Do you remember the little disc room in the club I was in there a lot and if I remember rightly so where you. I think you wanted to be a D.J. in those days. ( I was the DJ, up to 9pm, but the equipment they had was terrible - mk). One of the records that everyone seemed to want to be played was Shake (Otis Redding - mk) cant remember who sang it though all the girls used to scream for it.

My first recollection of the Moreton Y.C. was the old pink library when it was still standing. I think the Ambulance station is there now. Does anybody remember it and who went there, does anyone remember Old Stan Johnson with his pipe and his bike who lived along Town Meadow Lane and Mr Fogarty and I think Doreen also started her life with the youth club there. These where very popular people.

I remember the building in the shape of a letter T the table tennis tables where to the left as you walked in and I think we had a little place that sold drinks. The club was always busy except when you mention about Wallis's Fair on the corner down at the shore. That's where we started the what I believe the first Moreton Youth Football Team and Stan Johnson and cant remember Mr. Fogarty's first name and Doreen used to come and watch us. I can remember a few of the players that started the team up perhaps someone can remember them There was myself big Neville Jackson from Leasowe Steve Hollywood also from Leasowe, Ginger Billy and Billy Tierney am not sure whether Martin Meddlicottt played there where others but I apologise for not remembering there names. The team used to meet in the cafe on the corner of Oakenholt Road or over the road in the Big House Bar god that place brings back some memories. Some of the other players we had after we got established who came to join us where Eddie Shoule I think he went to South Africa there was Steve Jones , Robbie Leatherbarrow, Garry Farlam, Billy Lampkin  from the coal, I am struggling to remember them all but if anyone can, it would be brilliant to hear from them or even post a comment on here. 

There was also Neil Saunders he went to America. We started the season quite well winning a few and losing a few, but the main thing was we enjoyed it. Eventually we had a real good team and other teams in the league did not want to play us, we caused some upsets beating the likes of Poulton Villa, Wheatland and Wallasey Boys Club but as it happens all good things come to and end. Well Mike I hope if somebody reads this it will help jog a few more memories, I think I could go on for ages with some of the things we used to get up to. I also remember a lad Dave Smith we played table tennis together and where doubles partners in the Wallasey Festival of Sport and went on to win it for the Youth Club.

Me: I was in the Youth Club Quiz Team for a knock out tournament covering all of Wallasey Youth Clubs and Schools. We got through to the final but lost by a half point. Mine was the final question worth 2 points, should have been worth double considering how hard it was, but I got it right. Name that drummer? They played a piece of band music. The answer was Buddy Rich!
