Aitch,
Is it the rec, may queen and maypole day, with the back of the last terrace in Pickup Street on the right, leading to George Street?

Douglas,
I remember Alan Irwin; lived in the last house on the left at the top of Petticoat Lane; and I played for Santos Celtic, but for some reason don't associate you playin' at the same time. I do remember Paul Green (Granit) and, I think, Harold Ainscough being in the same side and maybe Philip Dumican.
We played a game or two on Fosters, one of which was abandoned through thunder and lightening -- but also travelled out to play a team at St Peter's in Orrell.
Alan Irwin featured in a piece in the Post and Chroinicle at the time called '' Unsung Heroes'' for organising the team. .... I think his mother might have had somnething to do with that.... I liked her. She always gave me a bob tip when I sold them Latics fund raising tickets on my round every friday evening a year or two later.

Granit, Harry Ainscough and Phil Dumican had a spell watchin' Bowt'n at the time but were lucky enough to escape the clutches of that terrible addiction.

Is TonyG Terry G's brother? From Grasmere Ave?.... Blinkin' eck.
