A LOOK back reader in Canada has written to Feed back after seeing himself in a recently-published photograph of Gaywood's Alderman Catleugh School pupils.
George Dye has also contributed a photograph of young footballers at Gaywood Primary School in Rosebery Avenue in 1955-6.
He now lives just outside Vancouver, after emigrating in 1978, and has his own company repairing old wooden boats.
He said: "I was told by my headmaster, Mr Turner, to 'go west young man' and here I am."
Mr Dye is pictured in the middle of the back row of the football team.
He remembers the other players as, from left, back row, Richard Hendry, Nigel Chetelbourgh, Brian Coe, Joe Wadam, Edward Durrant, Alan Masters; front row, Nickie Potter, Roger Oliver, David Barret, Richard Commings, Keith Bougen.
