Went to school with Jimmy in the forties. We lived in a close community, in Spring View, Wigan. It is good to know that he is still amongst us, and fit, and well. If you see this comment Jimmy, may God bless, you, and yours. Albert Short. Keep well, and keep safe.
Jimmy’s school photograph is on the school content. Spring View school, item 9217. Front row 5th from the left.
I apologise. Number should read. 4263
Stupid me. I have been entering the number of views, instead of the item number, which is 13820. 1946.
Jimmy also played for Blackpool, after his playing days at Wigan..
CORRECTION. Following further information from people who have better knowledge than I, the middle photo of "Jimmy" is incorrectly identified, it is in fact Jack Alstead, the club's physio at the time. However, the photo on the right of Jimmy, joyously accepting his Wigan heritage shirt, is correct - apologies all round to everyone concerned.
Hey Albert Short I remember both of us going to spring view school Thank you for your comments, I am going ok here in Brisbane Australia I have been here since 1964 and still enjoying it, Albert it would be great if we could keep in touch by email Cheers Jimmy.
John, a subscriber to W.W.A. Drew my attention to Jim’s message. I have emailed Jim, and he has replied. Thank you John.
