• Hi there, my name is Paul Hurd and am one of the boys who had our photo taken by a teacher at Furtherwick School, after winning the southeast 7 a side rugby final, 1964.
  The semi final and final were played at Woodlands High School Basildon.
  In the final we (Furtherwick School ), managed to beat West High School 6points to nil.
  Most of the boys in the photo still live on Canvey or the Southend on sea area as far as I know, apart from Terry Rayner ( not Terry Tayner), who went to Australia in 1964, just after the above photo was taken, as he commented above.
  I have often thought about Terry and how his life has panned out. Terry hope you will contact me if you see this comment. Paul Hurd.

• Hi Paul, it’s great to hear from you, I am really lost for words, what a memory you have. I hope you are ok, and we must keep in touch. It’s been 56 years since I left Canvey, I never wanted to go to Australia, and I am still home sick. We are all getting on now, are all the lads in the photo still kicking? do you still see any of them?. Please keep it touch Paul, let me know how your life has panned out. all the best.

• Hi Terry,
  This is Anne Paul’s wife, I had been looking for you for years but there are a few of you in Australia ! I had looked in your White Pages but again there are a few of you. Which part of Australia are you ? I have friends in Brisbane , Cairns & Adelaide ? Two of which were at school with me. I left in 65. I’m afraid David Denmark has passed away but the rest are still going . We are in contact with most except Neil Brooks although Dennis knows where he is & is going to try to contact him. Paul & Dennis have stayed friends. Are you on Facebook ? A lot of school friends are be lovely to keep in touch. There is Messenger which is part of Facebook and is more personal, hoping to hear from you soon ,Anne & Paul x

• Hi Terry,
  Looked up Mary Rayner but there are two that live in Adelaide not sure which one is your Mary. Mary could friend request me Anne Margaret Hurd , that maybe easier. There is a Terry Rayner holding a glass is that you.?
  Golden Grove rings a bell, an old school friend of mine lives there or did. Harry Eames his dad was a shoe repairer on the high street. I will look through my info & try to find his address. Are you any where near Parafield Gardens ? We have friends who live there. Hope to catch up soon, Anne & Paul x
