I remember many of their names but few faces apart from Danny Priest who lived in the Fleece Hotel, Scholes and was mate of mine all the way through school and into our teens when a gang of us went to Butlins at Filey. Would love to know where he is these days.
Kevin Sharkey I knew from St John's, he lived in Acton Terrace and his mother was famed for being on the radio for a long time with Jimmy Young.
Most famous of course is Kevin O'Loughlin, great lad at school and one of Wigan RLFC's greats.
