Bob Embleton, who was born in 1956 at Newcastle, went to Cleadon Park Secondary School at South Shields.
I always remember going fishing as a schoolboy, for we used to get up on a Saturday morning, and then rush about getting our breakfast and our fishing tackle ready because there was always a queue to buy the ragworms and lugworms from the bait shop.
When we had got our bait off we would trot to a suitable place to fish, maybe off the pier, the groyne or down the river to the new Millar Dam. We hardly ever caught anything but every time was an adventure for us.
Bob enlisted in the army and his career with the Royal Engineers took him around the world, serving in Germany, Northern Ireland, Sardinia, Canada, Belize and Italy. He now lives in Barnsley.
