Wigan Album

Well i'll start with an 'young and old' pairing.
6th from left back row Malc Swann and extreme right front row Mr Clarke Senior

Back row
1st Left - Vince Karalias
6th Left - Malc Swann

Front row
1st Left - Dennis Ramsdale
4th Left - Geoff Aspinall
6th Left - George Fairburn
7th Left - Jimmy Hornby
8th Left - Colin Clarke

Circa 1976 - 1979

5th Left - Ronnie Dootson

Imposter How dare you, I resemble that remark, which ones Alan Doran ?

xxStuartxx, Colin Clarke is 9th left not 8th. Or extreme right as per my earlier post

Stephen:
I concur.

which one is Ian Concur?

4th Left Dave Regan
7th left Steve O'Neill
8th Left Alan Greenall??
5th Right Kierion O'Loughlin

Cliff:
You should be on TV..........we could switch you off then.

Season 78/79? Denis Boyd 9th back row?

150 hits and 6 players still not named (one i must admit is very dificult!)- looks like i'm in Sams on me own aain!

Well this brings back some memories !
Anyroad, Front row 3rd left is Dave Walsh and I believe it's Mick Rennox between Steve O'Neill and Dennis Boyd. Both top lads and good players.
I think it might be Martin Foy between Dennis Ramsdale and Dave Walsh
Bit of a guess here Malc, is it Steven Davies next to Vinty ?, leigh lad came with a big reputation.
That leaves 2, to Kieron's left - I'll guess at John Wood and to Clarkey's left - not a clue to be honest.
Happy days

Correct Walter – Walshy (carrying a few more pounds these days) and Scholes Lad Mick Rennox who I see regularly out walking along the canal – (his brother Billy was a great player as well, but as Billy would tell you, he didn’t like playing in winter!)
The one to Kieran’s left has already been correctly named by Stuart as Geoff Aspinall
That just leaves the difficult one then boys… Between Clarkey and ‘jinking jimmy’

is it alan ratcliffe between clarkie and hornby

far right of back row billy wilkinson ass coach

nope!

sorry Tom - postings overlapped - I meant no to Alan Ratcliffe not Billy Wilkinson

Its Martin Sivori between Colin Clarke and Jim Hornby. He was a winger.

WELL DONE Granada - where did you get that one from!
Martin Sivori indeed it is!
‘Sivvy’ as he was known was an ex John Rigby boy

Position: Winger
Wigan Playing Career: 1977-1980
Wigan Debut: 24th April 1977 v Rochdale (A) - Won 8-4
Last Wigan Match: 2nd March 1980 v York (H) - Draw 17-17

Hello Scholesmalc. I played for the colts at the same time he was at Wigan.

granada - i nearly put a comment on that the only way anyone would remember Sivvy was that they would have played alonside him, like you, or went to same school, like me
The colts eh - I will put an old colts photo on for you tomorrow.

Come of it lads.. they are all Jimmy Hornby lookalikes!

I was in Siv's class at school but didn't recognise the bugger with all that facial bumfluff

shame on you Walter - can't recognise a classmate! - must have been all those beatings at the hands of the Christian Brothers at John Rigby affecting your memory!!

How many of these lads ended up at Leigh?
I know Malc Swann and Colin Clarke did. I'm sure someone will correct me but did Denis Boyd and Dave Reagan also have spells there?

front row 2nd left MARTIN FOY I think!

Alan Greenall is 3rd from left (back row). He's my cousin. His mum has the same photo and I her asked which was Alan (although I already thought it was him). So he's not 8th from left as previously mis-identified.
