Origins

On 29^th June 1967 at Bond Street Maternity Hospital in Leicester, now demolished and re placed by The Shires Shopping Centre, a baby boy entered the world and was named ‘David Paul Noseley’.

There was much discussion at that time as to who he looked like, I have seen the photos and would say a beautiful bouncing baby! And was taken home to a little village called Oadby in Leicestershire. Where he lived with his Dad (Graham) Mother (Jean) and big sister Sharon.

He was an ill child and managed to contract every illness going as a child, including asthma at the age of 4!

He was one of very few when he started school with asthma as it was a very new condition in them days and suffered a great deal of bullying, from both teachers and pupils not understanding his condition, having regular asthma attacks and not being able to take part in sport’s as much as he had wished he was always the last to be picked!

He progressed through the schools in Oadby, Launde Infants and Primary, Manor High and then Beauchamp College.

His mother was a regular church go’er and David would be dragged along too, every Sunday and then sent to Boys Brigade on a Monday night.

He started work at an early age and had a paper round at the age of 10, a very big one! By the age of 13 he was working after school in a local butchers shop called ‘Tom Bests’ now a Thai Restaurant on London Rd Oadby.

David wanted to be a fireman at school, but due to his asthma couldn’t join so he got an apprenticeship with a local meat firm called Parkers and trained to become a butcher.

This was at the age of 15 and left school before taking his exams much to the annoyance of his headmistress, but the job opportunity would not wait

And so at that early age David did a 40hr week starting at 6.30am every day! Kids of today don’t know what work is!

He stayed at Parkers for 5 years and then moved to Sainsburys and with in 3 months been promoted to Meat Manager at the Humberstone Gate branch Leicester.

David enjoyed 8 years at Sainsburys but was made redundant in a management restructure, which took him into security and he stated running the doors at Mosquito Coast nightclub and Bar Gaudy (now Mosh) in Leicester.

Then after 2 years and missing retail David got a Newsagents which he ran for a couple of years, but it blow away, so then ran a hotel for a short time before finding his niche in life ‘Finance’ that was nearly 10 years ago.

David suffered a bad car accident 7 years ago and is now disabled on his left leg still suffering from the effects of the accident today he copes and gets on with life.

Are you still reading about him!!??

David now works for a Mortgage Lender as Account Manager covering the East Midlands.

David loves LCFC and has been a dedicated season ticket holder for years! Also has a strong passion for Queen & country and has followed the England football team to many places far and wide. Plus loves an afternoon at the Tigers on the beer! Always open to offers!

David was asked to become a Freemason a few years ago and joined a lodge in Leicester. This has totally changed his outlook on life and made him a better person in the whole.

Comedy came into his life by accident; whilst at a gig a few years ago he heckled a comedian who retaliated by asking if he could do any better? Get up on stage now and do so? So David being David, got up and did 10 minuets of the cuff, to the delight of the crowd, he then saw an advert for a Comedy Workshop that wanted people totally new, so he joined and here we are today!
