Expect good days ahead with Cowley brothers
I like that my children’s school doesn’t allow them at all, they distract too much. We never had them, if you wanted to contact anyone you either spoke to the office or went to a phone box.
HUDDERSFIELD Town’s plight is a clear challenge for all to see, but one which the Cowley brothers are really well up to.
It won’t be rushed, they won’t want to go out and buy moonshine gold. It’ll be root and branch building from the bottom up, and it will work.
I’ve monitored these young men for several years now and after they’ve ‘sorted us’ and taken us for another exciting ride around the Premier League the only thing that may draw them away would be a top London club or the England job.
But that’s years down the line. It would be tempting to ask a bookie to offer 100-1 on that scenario.
Anyway, I’m saying prepare for good days ahead with Huddersfield Town generating huge, enthusiastic community involvement the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
And, for me, after last week’s sorry showing, this is gonna happen much sharper than most will be thinking.
I can’t wait for Christmas. I can’t wait to see the two Harrys, Anderson and Toffolo, from Lincoln City among others being persuaded to come and rejoin the Cowleys.
I can honestly say I’ve rarely been as happy as this with any Town manager signing in the years.last20

Look to the past to change the present
MY late father Bill Vause, a fellow Examiner letter writer, once gave me some words of wisdom.
He said look at the good things in the past to change the present.
By that he was referring to people not having to lock the door at night for fear of being burgled.
My dad was brought up in Leeds and Stourton. Where he lived as a child was a rough area – drunks, fights on the street and ‘find the lady’ gamblers.
Yet he never had the ordeal of his parents having to lock the doors at night as no one burgled the houses.
Drugs were not thought of in those days. Even in my own early years our own door wasn’t locked and when my mum and dad moved to Birkby in the 1960s the door was still often not locked.
How times have changed. This just goes to show that politicians can’t be doing their jobs properly, doesn’t it?
Memories evoked by class of ‘59 photo
THE ‘Class of ‘59’ school photograph published by Denis Kilcommons (Examiner, September 13) evoked many memories for me. This was form 5G at Huddersfield Girls’ High School.
There were the Samson triplets – Judith, Christine and Jennifer. For many years they delivered newspapers for my husband John Lindley who owned Crossley’s Newsagent’s in Marsh.
The triplets were always bright and happy and very reliable. I wonder where they are now and what they are doing?
I only knew their parents as Mr and Mrs Samson, who were always supportive and a happy couple.
Back to the photograph, there in the middle of the front row is Mrs Pluthero. I was at Longley Hall from 1947-1953 and Mrs Pluthero was my favourite teacher. She taught English language and English literature.
Mrs Pluthero was not afraid of tackling our public performances (Longwood Mechanics) of Shakespeare’s plays A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Merchant of Venice.
I was lucky enough to take part in both and Mrs Pluthero included as many students as possible often alternating roles so that double the number could enjoy the experience of acting. Happy, happy days!
We do enjoy reading Denis Kilcommons’ lively column and thank him most sincerely for his piece on the class of ‘59.
