noI think he started aged 12 and left at 19 ,this was back two centuries ago though so my memory can't be completed trusted

Johnny Taylor of Newington played GPS 1sts 5 years in a row..now that's a record to beat!

Didn't K. Beale of Joeys achieve selection in GPS 1sts 3 years in a row without Pathways?
