The photographer,Eddie Jones,an ex Hindley and Abram Grammar school pupil,from Warrington Road,Lower Ince,gave this photo to me after hearing I was a Wigan fan.He told me he just barged through the crowd holding his camera up and the police let him through cos they thought he was press !! cheeky,but it worked.
