Mrs Taylor described Lewis Ludlam as a "delightful pupil"It was when he was leaving The School to move up to Kesgrave High School Ludlam said he would make sure she got tickets when he got called up for England.

In a tweet, Ludlam said "can't believe we actually managed to track her down".
Mrs Taylor said: "He was magnificent and to meet him afterwards was the icing on the cake.
"He's still the same charming, friendly, delightful boy that he was when I knew him when he was 11. "
Sandra Taylor said she was "full of pride" watching Ludlam (centre) play for EnglandHowever, the Scottish mother of two admitted national loyalties had to be put to one side as she cheered on her former pupil.
