As I'm living and working in Manchester, you occassionally come across people that had some passing acquaintance with the Smiths. So, I'm prompted to post this following a chance chat in the office mensroom with a System programming mate of mine. He was telling me he went to school with Marr and Rourke, remembered them well, and was even corrupted by Rourke to start smoking (at 14). He recalls Johnny was a decent footballer and a mad Manchester City fan, but that Rourke and Marr only became 'drawn' to each other in later school life (as their common love of music came out).

I asked if he had any school photos and he gave me these two website addresses from their school, St.Augustines..

which has a Smiths link to
Johnny Maher (Marr) and Andy Rourke photos

  • Johnny and Andy were not in the same form at the beginning. Andy looks sweet with dimples when he smiles. Augustines was a posh but a bad, bad school from what I have heard. from, Andy Ison.
