I used to study sport and leisure at North East Worcester College in Bromsgrove some 22 years ago and we had the opportunity to take our FA prelim coaching certificate, our tutor told us that he's managed to swindle Dennis Mortimer and Peter Withe's son (Simon I think) to come along and run it. We couldn't believe it, when they arrived and after about an hour he said, I can see you're all pretty decent footballers, if you carry on like this I can't see why I can't pass you all, the course lasted 6 weeks.
Week two arrived and we saw neither of them again, we were mortified and it left a bitter taste. I've forgiven him but at the time he ruined me. On a different note Gary Shaw used to knock about in Bromsgrove and was very approachable.
