Same school as Arthur C. Clarke - well about 40 years later TBH

Richard Huish College, Taunton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I went to school at the same time as Andy Coulson who was the editor of the News of the World. He was a few years older than me - I think in my sister's year.

I also was in the same class as Lee Harrison who is a Barnet goal keeper who had spells at Fulham and Leighton Orient. He now helps with training there. Not overly famous, but that's it!

Used to play after school football with Matt Le Tissier, and his equally footie mad brothers. One of his brothers was in the same class as me, and Matt's 4 years younger than me.


Oh, and a distant relative has been in Dr Who twice! (The "classic" ones)

Kim Wilde was two years above me at my school, she was quite nice and a really good artist. She used to hang out on the fringes of the same group of friends as me and go to all the same clubs and parties. This was just as she was making it in the music biz and starting to get recognised but I didn't really know her well.

The only famous person i went to school with was the girl who recently had a lot of press who tried to poison her husband with anti-freeze and nearly killed him. I sat next to her in food economics! ( You may not of heard about it but it was pretty big news in Stoke on Trent).

I was at school with this character...



He was a fair bit older than me though so I never got to know him. I do remember watching a teachers vs pupils match where the teachers couldn't get near him. I especially remember him nutmegging the maths/IT teacher - his face was priceless!

Hope he gets well after his recent troubles.

Cool thread. :-)

I went to school with Ross Abbort's son Richard Roberts. Ross Abbort was always turning up signing autographs and was a good bloke.

Also the DJ Gareth Cooke went to my school, he used to screw Martina McCutchen.

We also had the son of Ringo Star's wife Barabra Bart. He was called Garnie and was disabled. Ringo Starr used to turn up and was the biggest Kunt around, miserable, never friendly.

LVS Slough ! Went there for 11 years, learnt about ****, drugs, drinking, fighting and how to shop lift ! Oh yeah :-) !
