Quote: Homenaway "So I believe (about Beverley Grammar). When I was there it was always talked about as the 3rd oldest, but that was about 50 years ago.
My Dad, rest his soul, went to Riley High and he was the one that got me hooked on Hull FC. I used to sit on his shoulders, watching the game, towards the back of the threepenny stand in the early 60's. It was also a family thing with my two uncles there as well.'"
When I was at Riley the school was at the corner of Boulevard/ Anlaby Rd and moved to a new location a year after I left in 1956. Both are now long gone.
Dad took me to my first Hull game back in 1946 and I started going to matches by myself shortly after. I watched from the hill at the Gordon St end.
