Vern was a well known character at Downall Green.looked good with his Mohican haircut.lovely man.sadly him and his brothers Barry and HAROLD haave all died .
ozzy I don't know where you are getting all these photos from but keep them coming.its nice to see .
i agree bert. do you think it should be on downall greeners 8 ? .
Hiya Bert, I've got loads mate, the problem is knowing where to slot them in. There's a lot of folk on here who are a bit picky about location, and anywhere beyond Marus Bridge doesn't appear to conform to their idea of being ' Wigan related '. I don't suppose you recall the incident when I knocked Vernon's brother Harold down with Jimmy Glover's paper bike do you Bert? We had a few laughs back in those days didn't we mate ? But we were daft then weren't we ? Some of us still are unfortunately. By the way Bert, do you remember the Rigbys ripping the staircase out of their house and burning it on the fire ? You just couldn't write something like that could you ?, people just wouldn't believe it. All the best anyway pal.
Regards Ozy.
He was rum lad but not malicious. I remember my dad appointed him security guard when his garage was being built in Birch Grove. It worked Vern. stopped all the lads from messing in the footings,before the concrete went off.
Hi Ozzy I do remember you where daft.but don't class us all the same us from downall green where just a little bit rum. I do remember you knocking Harold down.he sadly passed away .I could write a book what went on at downall green .sadly most of the Rigbys have passed away as well.iwent to a party a few years ago and Richard and Kevin WERE THERE and kevin was poorly then.good memories
