Munks, David Remember Dave and Mick playing in Graves Park because I was one of the group who played there. Played for Kestrels FC. Also the trip to Bridlington and playing on the beach.

Munks, David I met Dave Munks and Mick Hill in Graves Park, Sheffield. My mates and I would meet during the summer months and played football. Dave and Mick joined us several times, we later went on a team trip to Bridlington. Went for a pint and there was Dave and Mick also on a trip. We had a match on the beach. I last saw Mick in my local, Woodseats WMC, Sheffield with his family, both gentlemen. Sad to see Mick Hill died aged 60.
