In 1958 Joan Wall went to Church Drive secondary school for girls, in Arnold, north-east Nottingham, to teach cookery in the two wooden huts in the school garden fitted out as kitchens.
She was a lovely teacher, and we, her pupils, were thrilled when she was chosen to play for England at Wembley. The school always organised a trip to the annual international match, and now we had the excitement of waving and supporting one of our teachers.
