Trevor Hoyland: pupil 1960 - 1964

I am an Old Firparnian. My name is Trevor Hoyland and I was at the school between 1960 and 1964, leaving at the age of 16 years.  I worked until I was 20 for a firm of solicitors in Sheffield and I then joined the police. I retired on Christmas Eve 1999 and at that time I was a Detective Superintendent working at Police HQ in Snig Hill, Sheffield. I'm married, have two relatively grown up children and live in Hope Valley.  I enjoyed my time at Firth Park Grammar School. I remember a number of masters including HJS Wilson, Headmaster, Mr Weatherill - deputy, Poddy Harrison, Spike Johnson, Daz Smith, FT (Hefty) Wood, Ken Bown and Doc Beaker.  Carole Bellfield was the school secretary and her younger brother Stuart was a contemporary.  Other students I recall were Slug Nugent, Bob Turner, Tib Martin, Dave ('my dad's got a chip shop') Ferguson, Terry Calton, Phil Rich, Keith Parkin, Keith Cotterill and Ronald Parkin.  I left with 5 'O' levels and to my absolute shock won the school prize for English at the next Speech Day. I was able to appear at the City Hall, where the event was held, in tight jeans, Cuban-heeled suede boots, a corduroy Beatle jacket and with unacceptably long hair.  A sweet moment. have never been to, or for that matter been invited to, any school reunions. Like the site. Keep up the good work.
