Went to Greatfield 80-85. The two main buildings were Newton and Elizabethan Hall. There was a sixth form block in between.

The main teachers I remember were the Headmaster MR Dickinson, His wife took me for A Level Economics, was a great teacher, Elliott Oppell (the Hull City commentator, his nickname was ‘wobble gob’ you never sat in the front row if you could help it, otherwise you got a shower), Elliott Morley (the MP who diddled his expenses) Eddie Blackburn, the Hull City keeper, Mr Kissen, MR Rogerson the PE teacher (think he later went on to be headmaster) and Mrs Goulding.

Shakespeare was a mixed junior school; I went to St Richards the other side of Poorhouse Lane. Some great memories there too, 4 years playing in the rugby team, Mr Flanagan was our coach, great bloke, I think he was a cousin of Flash. In the final year you got to go on the Rugby trip to Wembley. Well it just happened to be 1980. Great memories of the day and the train journey, we were at the Hull end but were Steve Hubbard scored that try. Happy Days

Played and lost quite heavily every time against St Richards when at Alderman Cogan. Them and Sutton Park were probably 2 of the best teams around 1986/7 ish

Went there 1969 to 72 there was 3 schools all together. Issac Newton. Elizabethan and Shakespeare which combined to make greatfield high school. Great schools and great times

No school there when I was a kid and played in the fields of the two farms that were there. At junior school( old Flinton Grove) my best mate lived in the house at the gates of Eastern Cemetery and I ran across open fields to play from where I lived in Marfleet Lane. Finally left the area in 1966 but no school built as I recall.

Newton hall was a grammer school, Elizabethan Hall was a secondary modern school and Shakespeare hall came along later.

I played for Villa Place against both St Richards and Shakespeare. this was around 1970 remember beating Shakespeare easily enough but St Richards with Mike Smith were almost unstoppable we only beat them once, in a semi final and got to play at the Boulevard were we got beat by St John Fisher.
also remember 7s rugby there.
happy days.

I went to Shakespeare and left a year early as that was when Juniors got done away with. I loved it there but we didnt actually do a lot of Rugby. Our PE teacher was called Mr Goulding and he was a rugby lover but for some reason we only tended to play football if it was dry or indoors was indoor hockey (Unihoc?) in bare feet. Our form tutor and Science teacher was a loveable loono Mr Holmes, affectionately called Ratman.

I didn't go to Greatfield though, for my sins I ended up at David Lister.....
