Born on Abbey St, moved around from Wrexham to Clitheroe to Accrington and Oswaldtwistle, now residing in Shorpe.
Not making so many game these days - partially as a result of the distance, and partially because of work commitments.

Ronnie and Reggie - We don't like Norfern "Numpty" Geezers with flat caps and we HATE whippets.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43872.jpg



Born at Firs Lane Maternity Home, lived just off Wigan Rd., near to Marsh Playing Fields and then went up market when we moved to Higher Fowd. Now live in Saddleworth and travel by train and buzz to watch Leigh, that's why Friday night games are rubbish for myself, but the needs of the club are more important. Any home game takes me about 9 hours there and back, but last week against Fax was worth everyone of them :O)

Quite well thank you Charlie. Sad news is that even the cafe known as "Jimmy Clitheroes" on the Market has now changed its name to the "Bluebe"2. Don't ask! But then again, there can't be many who even know who we are talking about these days. Trust you are also well.

Sorry ! Bluebe2 should read "Blueberry". Put it down to age and alchohol!
By the way, born in Manchester St. Mary's, lived in Bongs, Leyth and Bent before moving around a bit. Scooter Nik outmoved me since we've lived in Clitheroe (1984)

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.

You can't dust for vomit:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1033.jpg



Born at Firs, lived on Mill Lane off Chapel Street for the first few weeks of my life, then on Holden Road until 1977 when I went to Uni. Lodged a bit at home when I got my first job in Preston, moved there in 1982, then to London and Brummagem. Been here since 1990, so longer than I lived in Leigh, I'm afraid. Wife and kids all born here but well aware of the important things in life.

Born in Birkenhead, early years in Thatto Heath then moved to Lowton and initially watched saints as my old man was a saints fan but then started to watch Leigh as i could get there on the bus on my own and been a fan ever since. Lived in York for last 21 years and sadly work and kids mean I get to see very few games back home these days. Still a fan of the greatest game and occasionally pop down to watch York Knights but may pop over for the game on Friday!

The important question we all want to ask is, have you brought them up to like pasties or pies?

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can. “Up The Comics !”:17580.jpg



Parents born and grew up in Golborne. I was born in Culcheth but we bought and moved to the family shop on Stonecross Lane, Lowton at aged 8. Moved to Pennington at aged 18. Went to Golborne Comp, played my rugby there, and at Leigh Rangers then at Leigh Colts. Worked and lived in and around WI&an until 1995 when I emigrated to Vancouver, Canada. Been here ever since and have lived in a great town called Tsawwassen for the last 12 years.
First watched Leigh week in, week out, behind the sticks, at aged 3 with my Dad and uncle (his ashes were buried on the Hilton Park pitch) My Dad still goes to almost every game as he has for close to 70 years !!
Thanks to Fred Parky DVD,s, this website, Leigh Updates and Leigh Radio I keep up to date and informed for every game even though the kick off is usually 7 am for me !
