Terry Butcher - Denes High in Lowestoft, very quiet and unassuming actually. Years later he came to pay his respects at my Dad''s funeral, which is probably an strange state of affairs for a City fans such as myself! [:$]

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Chris Sutton, Horsford Middle School 1983-4.  Always tall for his age, cocky, big headed but frankly deserved to be.  Key memory is of him (as a fourth year) walking round the playground on his knees saying in a squeaky voice "oh look, I''m a first year."

[/quote]

I played in the same team (for 3 games!!) as Chris for Horsford Boys when we were both 14. He was crap. I can remember i lad up front with Chris that was head and shoulders better than him but due to Chris'' dads connection with Dave Stringer it was Chris that got the ''opportunity'' at Norwich. He was quite arrogant then! The next time i saw him was being escorted into a police vehicle in the city centre the night before he signed for Blackburn!!!!!

[quote user="ncfcfaithful"]Rob Green.  Good bloke!![/quote]

used to think it was funny to throw basketballs at kids in the lower years... he was a terrible shot, My mate Rob lobbed one back at him and hit him with it....

He used to frequent the beehive too i seem to remember.

Lenell John-Lewis who plays for Lincoln was 2 years above me at school, also knew Ryan Bennett who plays for Peterborough now, was then at Ipswich but didn''t really talk to him much. Also played school matches against Jack Wilshere, Jonjo Shelvey and Victor Moses all were amazing but remember Shelvey as an arragont so and so, Wilshere was amazing he scored 5 goals to knock us out of national''s 5-4.

Went to school with Matt Gill, but being older, never knew him personally. My younger brother did and played footie with him, but described him as "very mediocre". Plus ca change, eh?

I didn''t go to school with him but I played occasionally with a boy my age whose grandmother lived next door to mine at Elm Park (east London for those that don''t know it) when we were both visiting at the same time.  We would get bored with adult talk and meet in the gardens for football, cars or action men.

He was ok and we got on all right but he was a bit bossy.   Could be good fun and a good laugh at times especiallly if he got his own way. Became very superior when he became a professional footballer though and we lost touch.

His name,

[quote user="Brendo "]Kenny Reeves, who was in the academy last year, nothing special though.

My mother went to school with Chris Sutton, and was in his brothers class, and his dad was the PE teacher. (Hellesdon High)

Your mum must be only 26... that must make you very younge? But chris sutton had long left school if she was in his brothers class?

was in the same class at school as mr nelson our centre back. cant say we were great mates but was a nice enough guy and stood out as a good footballer even then.  great to see him not only make it but make it as a canary.
