lizziep Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 It's 2 years today since Phil Morgan died and I have some great memories of him - he was 3 years older than me and a regular at the Torch, Trentham Gardens (when it was a disco off the main ballroom),Top Rank Hanley, original Mecca boy and was known for his passion for Northern,his record collecting, his dancing and his love of scooters. Original, cheeky, slightly arrogant, he was never shy in speaking his mind. I used to work with Phil at the Michelin in 1973 so apart from seeing him every weekend I had to endure his teasing at work as well!! Long time ago but can still picture him dancing. There must be quite a few of you on SS that have some great memories of Phil - sure Julie and his family would love to hear of them. Thinking of Julie, Mandy and his mum today - One In A Million.

Guest julie s Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Was that because he was he was waiting for the girls? or just because he loved to dance phil loved the torch,twisted wheel catacoombs blackpool mecca and many more. Thanks to lizzie p for this thread it means so much, i know there are many people on here who were to young to remember the torch and the origanal places all you lot used to go but along the years there were great stories and when it comes to times like these you really know who the real soulies are thank you for your thoughts on another memorial of my brother he was a torch boy and many many more xxxx julie
