ERIC LEYLAND? OR LAST ORDERS ERIC,JEFF DAWBER MARRIDE JANNET RIYONNE? FITZ SOLD ME HIS LA CUCARACHA AIR HORNS.
Yes it is Eric Leyland -I'm easily confused. I first met Eric when he used to go to Riley's Gym for a short time. Our regular haunt was the The Grand Hotel (lots of talent in The Grand on a Friday night. Then it was over the road to a night club called Sloopy's - I might be wrong with that name as well.
did jennett ryan work in bank next to bees knees and live opposite wigan park, did her sister marry Harold ? cant remem his second name. they were both beutifull girls
The Ryan sisters Jeanette & Gwen originally from Caroline St. Gwen married Harold Foster got divorced then married Kevin Hurst. All roads seem to lead to Plank Lane.
God,look at the curtains: absolutely filthy.
well Paul your a mine of info, Kev was the original Forrest except looks like he got the girl, started work first day with kev dont know who was thickest him or me? bet hes the richest now though.

Phil
yes thats eric leyland i was the first DJ at sloopys and use to go to tech with eric.go round wigan meet in grand and on to sloopys
John J,I think you've got it wrong about the curtains,the 'marks' on them are shadows of the lads heads caused by the camera flash.
The lad next to geoff dawber is Phil Williams (Pip)as he was known.I served my time at the same time and was mates of these lads.If i am not mistaken Geoff was courting foe quite a while with Gwen Ryan if it was the daughter of Martin Ryan W.R.L.
The pub was the Victoria (next to Wallgate Station). Paul, you were a Kirkless legend. They reckon those trailer cables have still not dried out (Ha! Ha!). Hope you're keeping well.
