Whilst it's all about opinions, yours is a bit harsh in mine.

I've never heard him deny his roots, he's a good broadcaster on a national level and there are only so many times the, "I remember pulling wheelies up and down Poplars..." story will keep a wider audience enthralled.

Although from Newton le Willows, I believe Colin Welland (Kes, Charriots of Fire) was a big Wire.

You're right. He was one of the people instrumental in getting the Bev statue made.

Australian immortal Bob Fulton was born in Warrington , Neil Fairbrother Lancs &England also born here

Rick Astley?

Jimmy Bright..........................

George Formby ! Born a pie but grew up in Warrington his mum lived on Fothergill St

He's also buried in Warrington, along with his Dad.

Rick Astley is Newton-le Willows, Park Avenue South.

Anywayyyyy, back on topic I tried the new away shirt on yesterday and IMO it's a belter. Better fit than last years, slightlier stretchy material by all accounts and most importantly; it looks like the players version! Same collar etc. Brookson sponsor logo is less obtrusive built into the white horizontal stripe than the white square across the home shirt.

Are the players versions of the home shirt in the shop yet? I get paid on Friday and might buy myself a Christmas present. Not bought a shirt since the 2006 white Puma, so thought I'd treat myself to a proper top of the range one as this one looks really good.
