“Can’t remember Mick when I worked in the Herald Trim… but I remember George Awde well. Brilliant foreman and bloke. Was a very decent amateur footballer in his day as I recall. And the guy on the right also became my foreman, Roly Stokes. Another great fella who let me away with murder as a youngster! Rolling in late in the morning after the nightclub binge. Very happy memories of a couple of very decent blokes.”
