Mrs McLaughlin takes up the story

“Dear Mike

I just thought I would send you this photograph of Thurleston as my late husband Micky was the manager.

“I remember us once having a dance a the Thurleston School, in Defoe Road, Ipswich and we were all thrilled because Kevin Beattie came along.

It was a great night.

I love the Green'Un and especially the Gold page.”
