Maggie K l was very good friends with your Jimmy when l lived in Marsh Green we met when we played for Wigan schoolboys. Jimmy was at All Saints l was at Gidlow,l think the road you lived on was Hunter Rd,l lived on the main road below the shops,we were friends for quite a while.l knew he worked for the Gas board and l am shocked to hear of his death.We had some laughs together and he was a good mate.
I enjoyed playing for Worthington boys, sad to hear about Jimmy, he was a nice lad, pity we couldn't stay together in a higher age league because we had a very good team, considering we were all young lads.where have them years gone, sixty unbelievable. Fit has a fiddle then but knackered now
