@cabbles my son went to UKC but graduated the year you joined, you had a close shave and @AddickinSW16 I was captain of Conway Road School Football team in 1961/2 , did they still play in green shirts with white sleeves in your day?

Does he remember a bloke that worked in Rutherford called Michael that served rice?

Michael rice was always on the evening shift. I'll look forward to his response

@RedChaser , this thread has got me feeling all nostalgic about my school days. I ended up looking at Plumstead Stories online and saw lots of photos of Conway Road school. I'm wondering if that school was different to mine. Mine was on Gallosson Road, just of Conway Road and heading towards Plumstead High Street, but I have no recollection of another school in the immediate area other than Bannockburn and St. Patrick's. Where was your school?

Reckons he can't remember........... hmmm, has fessed to having poached eggs and beans every day for breakfast though, something doesn't quite add up, I'll pursue it next time I'm face to face with him.

It's the same one you went to mate wine was the school blazer Conway Castle the badge, apart from St Pats Griffin Road and Bannockburn Plumstead High Street there was Gallions Mount up by Winns Common where we used to play our home games. Wednesday afternoon football practice was by coach at Camdale Rd next to the cemetery, long since a paddock for horses.
edit; forgot to mention Earl Rise school near Anne St the other side of Griffin Road towards Woolwich and Brewery Road.

Great stuff! If you're interested, do check out Plumstead Stories online. They have lots of photos of the school from the 1930s onward. What year did you leave? I had a teacher there who had been teaching at the school since the '60s.
Also, Steve Sutherland @Suthers , who many on here will know, I believe is a former Conway boy. I believe.
@RedChaser , also, we didn't have a football team really. We did enter a couple of tournaments in my time though (I was invited along to the Charlton school of excellence as a result!). I reckon we wore purple although I can't remember.
Uniform wasn't compulsory in my time. In fact, there was no uniform at all until they introduced a maroon jumper with Conway Castle on it, which was optional.
Since moving back to SE18, I've loved passing by the school. So many memories. Did you live nearby? I was on Miriam Road, off Conway.

I would have been there through infants and juniors from 1955 to 1962 what was the teacher's name?

I opted to move out of park wood and go into halls at Keynes, so hardly frequented woodys. I remember being in there for the 1-0 win at blackburn on a Monday night. Hereiderson header
I'll be honest, part of the reason I chose UKC was to get back for Charlton. You could get a coach to home and away games back then from the Victoria hotel. Some bloke called Trevor ran it. He was a nice guy, but I haven't seen him in years
Same here - was working the turnstiles at the time! Meant I didn't get the coach as I needed to be there early but I did for a few years after Uni as stayed Canterbury way.
I was Darwin - Woodys and the Lighthouse were cheaper than Origins though!
Yeah I guess. I had crap memories of my opening few weeks of Park wood so tended to stay on the main bit.
Lighthouse Friday nights. Origins was expensive, but had the Mexican food etc.
I always ate at Rutherford. Do you remember the guy that used to serve rice there called Michael? He always served the rice, nothing else. Had a very red face
My mates and I called him Micheal rice. Not to his face, but he was so good and just shouting
'More rice, do you want more rice. What have you got under that rice (i.e. When checking if you were hiding some form of meat)
Haha no! Used to eat in Origins most evenings in halls - £3.50 'special' (i.e. whatever they needed rid of that night.
Did used to love the Rutherford breakfasts as a hungover brunch at the weekends though!

I'm not gonna lie mate, this Michael bloke was held in cult status among my group. I've even considered going back down there to see if he works there
In my head I've played out me being on 'this is your life' and he's a guest
