Dave was a good friend of mine in the Hull days. I hope his life in Oz worked out well
Hiya. I have a few bits n bobs belonging to David Gibson that were left in a garage. They are all paper goods of no value really, just ‘memories’ really.
Hello I am his grandson, if you see this and would like to contact him please email me at nazdesigns48@gmail.com
I have a small box of odd items that belong to David Gibson that were found in the garage when we moved into our new house. Some of David Gibson’s and J Thompson’s wages slips from Hull City are enclosed. Both of these young men earned the princely sum of £8 a week in 1975!
