Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Thought it only right to dedicate a thread to arguably the best teacher Haringey ever had...

Paddy Haddow was a giant of a PE teacher that used teach at Fortismere school ( formerly known as Creighton school) ) for lots of the seventies and eighties. He was a real enigma of a teacher who who managed to command respect and fear miraculously at the same time. His school trips were legendary and on the island of Spetses where he usually spent his summers with school kids in tow, he was highly regarded by the locals who would regale tales of his bravado, stamina and kindness.

He sadly died far too early of cancer but lived life to the full and left one child.

Any pictures or memories would be welcome
