Beyond England |
A schoolmaster by profession. -
An English Football Internationalists' Who's Who.
Douglas Lamming (1990). Hatton Press, p.42/43.
He earned his teaching degree in Geography at Durham
University, and this was followed with National Service as an officer in the RAF
(based at Middleton St. George, Darlington) and a first teaching job
at the Great Stone secondary modern school at Stretford, Busby having persuaded
him to take a job in Manchester while commencing his Old Trafford sojourn. Then
came a few years of living a double life, teaching by day, training for United
on two evenings a week, all the while playing top-level matches. Eventually the
conflicting demands of work and football dictated a full-time move into
education, and he relished it. In 1968 Bradley became a head teacher, presiding over the conversion of a
large secondary modern into a comprehensive school. In his next job he oversaw
the change from single-sex to co-ed, and then he was responsible for the
successful amalgamation of three schools in Bolton - one grammar and two
secondary moderns - into a 2,000-pupil comprehensive. He trained as a school inspector in 1988 and set up his own educational
management consultancy, contracting work from the newly formed Ofsted until
retirement in his sixties. - Independent obituary. |
