TEACHER TURNS BOOKIE
Wednesday, December 20, 1961 The Liverpool Echo
A school teacher is giving up his post at a primary school after ten years in the profession to become a full-time bookmaker. The teacher, Mr. Donald Easthope, has told Lancashire County Education Department that he is resigning from his job at the Halsnead Primary School, Whiston where he is a games master. Mr. Easthope, an Ex-Everton footballer, now employs a full-time staff at his betting shop in Liverpool Road, Huyton and since he opened two weeks ago he has sometimes taken 1,000 bets a day. In the picture above Mr. Easthope is seen at work in his betting shop.
