I think the fourth from left is Jimmy Dooney, ,He worked for Walkers and their subsequent owners all his working life finishing in management the Bolton works

I remember my dad mentioning the name Jimmy Dooney.

Pam
I think this is the Boiler Shop syndicate that won £75,000 on the pools in the late 50s.
The photo L/R. ? Jim Eatock, Lew Grimes, ? Jim Dooney, Joe Greenway. I always thought there were seven.
I worked along side your Dad when his came over to Bolton until he retired.

Thanks Ted.

Was Jimmy Dooney from Beech Hill.

Jimmy did come from Beech Hill and still lives In springfield and I spoke to him today, He is now in is late eighties

Hi AB. Am pleased to know that Jimmy is well. I lived across the road from him in Springfield for 30 odd years but have only seen him once since I moved 10 years ago.

Hi...I still live in Wigan...now 85. Good to see the picture...only 6 in syndicate. We won just over £18,000 in total.. (£3,140 each)

Hi Joe. Although I never made your acquaintance, it is good to know you are still with us. In the fifties,you could buy a very nice house,for that sort of money.

Joe, calculated on 1955 figures your £3,140 would be worth £71,877 today.
