    Born at home in Staincross 1969. Dad taught at Barnsley Grammar and Willowgarth.

    I went to Darton then spent years living away in Cambridge, London, Leeds and now North East.

    Spent a few years in between living back in town (Old Town) with women from elsewhere who just didn’t grasp that they were living in paradise and insisted we move away. I should have known then they were no good!

    Just about free of current wife and pining for another return. Always experience enormous sense of warmth and well-being whenever I return to what will always be my true home.

    Proud to say my 3 kids all consider themselves Barnsley too.

    I was born at BDGH in 1974, although the hospital itself wasn't fully built until 1977. My mum was a ward sister on Harvey Ward at Beckett's.

    Born in the front room of parents house in pye avenue in cudeth....in1957...i was that ugly the mid wife not only slapped mi dad mi pram had shutters on it ....i was breast fed to the point I had red and white lines down my face up to the age of 11 it was caused by the way mi mother would feed me through the school railings
    At the age of 12 my dad wanted to buy me a top of the range bicycle after i came home from school saying id lost my virginity to the teacher...i actually refused saying I'd rather have some soothing cream as my arse was still sore
    I'd like to think that the plastercine i played with as a kid moulded my future I'm thankful that my mother failed to teach me to knit imagine what I might have caught sharing needles .... it doesn't bear thinking about ... my father who might i add was very tough on me . Saw me came home from a first aid course Sat me down and tested me on what I'd learnt...eagerly i talked at length about the spine its problems cracked vertebrates slipped discs etc and as he stood from the chair in which he was sitting he brought a heavy hand across my face
    what was that for I cried out in pain.....just for talking back he replied
    With jokes like that you can understand why I've moved around a lot lol
