Seen this before. It’s very emotional. Had teachers like that myself that 25 years since we joined, still in touch with now.

There could be a similar story to this with Jay. As his form teacher is still in touch with him and is an absolute legend of a man. (Geoff Ashworth - sure many off here will know him from Barden and / or Calder Vale.)

It’s a great D.I.D this week. Marriage of Figaro to open with: great choice. Top bloke.

Does Ashworth have anything to do with Barnes cos his grappling like anti football style seems more in line with rugby coaching than football coaching?

Absolutely. Big influence for me growing up. And even now often think about a lot of the stuff he taught me. And regularly see him and occasional have a curry with him. Sure they don’t make teachers like that now.

I am not in the education field but I do know of a few who are that are driven the same way and have a wondrous influence on the lives of those they teach.
