Hi, Carla!
While talking to Dad about our family history, I've found interesting things about his brother, our Uncle Jack.
Jack left school at 16 in 1848 and worked in a car factory in Newcastle for five years. He used to play football for the factory team there. One day, some men came to watch him from Newcastle United. They offered him a contract, so in 1953, Jack left for his new team apparently, he played for Newcastle United from 1953 until 1959 and scored over 100 goals. However, he broke his leg badly in 1959 and gave up playing football.
After that, he got a job as a sports teacher at a local school, and that's where he met his wife, Auntie Giulia. She was an art teacher. They fell in love and got married in 1961. As you know, we left Great Britain and came to live here in Australia in 1965, so it was quite difficult for Dad and Uncle Jack to keep in touch after that.
Meanwhile, in 1969, Uncle Jack and Auntie Giulia opened an Italian restaurant in the centre of Newcastle. It was the most popular restaurant in the city during the 1970s and 80s. Sadly, in 1992, Uncle Jack was killed in a car crash, and the restaurant had to be sold. If I find anything new, I will certainly share with you.
Hope to see you soon!
