Jimmy mi owd mate ,im very well,always nice to see you are keeping in touch with the Leyth Forum,good on yer Charlie very rarely goes on the Market these days ,but im very sure many on here know who we are talking about ?Many owd goats on here you know do you still have your School Blazer ? .

There are more non Leythers on here than Leythers , myself being born Charles Eusabio Peroni Caroli ,a Napoli Caroli , i was brought up in Wilkinson St , where many nationalities lived , the Libertinis,the Lareketuses,the Brataskis , even the Blackburns from Boughey St another story there ,for me there is Nowhere like Leigh myself i now reside at the Blackpool Tower Circus ,but when in Leigh ,near the Bridge of Sighs (Butts Bridge ) its great being a Leyther . .

Born at Firs, Raised at Angus Avenue, lived there till I was 16/17, got my first job (an apprenticeship, anyone remember those) and moved to Middlesbrough, then Morecambe and then after a couple of short stop overs here and there, back to Leigh, where I remain, most of the time, though I do seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time in Bristol at the moment.

I'm a Westleyther, as nature clearly inteneded me to be.

Born at Firs Maternity in 1974 (It shut shortly afterwards).

Lived at Ena Cres until 1997 and a true Westleyther / Wigan Roader. Dads side of the family are all Plonk Loners !!

Lived in Birchwood since I have moved, so still not a million miles away (even though it feels it at times !)

Born in Leigh Firs Maternity Hospital in 1975, lived in Lowton for 20 years and have lived in Leigh for 17 years. Both our sons born in Warrington as I could not have Wigan on their birth certificate.

After talking about the Leigh v Leeds game my mum showed me a fantastic picture of her (when she worked at Leigh Infirmary and retired two years ago) of actually holding the Challenge Cup in 71' when (I think it was the Journal/Reporter or whoever it was then) took photos of the Cup Victory in the Community and to show the patients at the time.

Fantastic reading, we really are a cosmopolitan lot us leythers
