"Apache"
A Memory of Blackburn.
This photo brings back memories filled with trepidation, it was 1960 and I had to go into Wythenshawe hospital for plastic surgery after falling off a bicycle I was 9yrs old. The day before I was to be admitted my mum and my Auntie Jean took me down to Woolworths to buy me a Plastic "Frido" football to cheer me up. Their were gents public toilets in front of Woolies and being gripped with fear about going into hospital I decided to do a runner and shot down the steps into the toilets to hide, obviously being mens toilets they were out of bounds to my mum and Aunt so mum had to ask a gentleman passerby to drag me out kicking and screaming, what a commotion! I still got my ball and still went into hospital, and survived. Apache by the Shadows was in the charts at the time and even now when I hear it, it sends a shiver!!!
