Sorry Bob, I remember Harold Tootle. He was too nice to be a miner. Nicest bloke I ever worked with. He nearly came down to Coventry with me in the late sixties. Yes he passed away a year or so. No, the dusty Harry was the son of Dusty Harry who worked at Huncoat. Harry,s job was stone dust Barriers and dust suppression. Hence the name dusty. I think he commited suicide on the road in Within Grove. Billy did die in a motorbike accident. Willie Cooke in an overdose. And I think if Cashy can remember Tez died on the railway. Going down Clayton seems a good idea as I married a gal from Clayton the first time. Big mistake though. I called in the pub at Accringtons ground last time I came up. I knew Bobby Poole but lost track with him and everybody else when I left. Looking forwards to meeting some of you guys and Gals if poss.
