Joel and Jacob both lived in
Morvant and our relationship
evolved although we lived in
different parts of Morvant.
Amazingly, my alias name at
Sacred Heart Boys was "Stumpy"
and somehow the name followed
me to SEPOS. Ironically, I was
also called by the alias name
“Midget” in my home district of
Morvant.
So it might be an understatement
to say that everything I did outside
of the classroom was with a
certain conviction to be
considered amongst the best or to
gain attention.
However we established our
worth in our sport at school and
Jacob won SEPOS table tennis
championship and went on to win
a silver medal at the World Fire
and Police Games in San Diego,
California in 1985.
SEPOS allowed me to connect
with something I was good at
outside of the classroom and that
was football. While many would
attest that I was miserable in
class, my role outside the class-
room loomed large when it came
to school football.
Arthur “Jap” Brown captivated my
interest as the trainer of the
school team and it also helped
that he was a former national
forward with Malvern club.
However my size became an
issue for the PE teacher until the
second match when I became a
starter and a key player in helping
SEPOS win the Progressive
School football league in 1966.
