Wigan Album

So much Wigan talent. Facilities for sport, in those days, were sparse, compared to today's amenities. I remember the rugby field, at the school that I attended, in the forties. The playing surface was solid clay. No grass whatsoever.

Alans parents are on the left of the photograph . His mother was a dinner lady at St Johns ce school Pemberton. They lived in Redwood ave.

I remember when I lived in chapel st pemberton he worked at triangle valve,he walked past our house I got his autograph,probably late 50's
