I was at Ruffwood in 60's (64-68) and Mr Donnelly was our sports teacher. He used to run the Kirkby swimming team and would give me a lift in his car when we trained at Brookfield school and sometimes to swimming galas. Must say he looked different in the sixties, short hair, tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, he looks quite handsome in this clip. Sound bloke, one of the few teachers I liked in that school.
This is part of the Liverpool / Kirkby Rent Strike Documentary in the 70's.
The Teacher is Mr Donnelly if I remember correct. Mr Donnelly was House Master of Telford House in Ruffwood School Kirkby he was like that all the time. The woman talking is Margi Clarks Mum (the Actress) She became Mayor of Knowsley
The Documentary can be seen on google video's if not on youtube.
@ScouseTimes Glad it helped. There were a couple of Documentaries made in the late 60s -early 70s, about Kirkby. They were made by Ray Gosling for ITV.
I have never been able to find them, I wonder if you come across them if you could please let me know. I have seen them mentioned on a couple of sites would love to take another look they caused quite a stir at the time with front cover reporting in the Times Magazine ect Thank You Seh
