Wigan Album

fairpaul,bet there was some fun in the Scrums with Bill Sayer and Colin Clarke.

Some great player's from both games.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Colin Clarke recently,an absolute gentleman.

I see Dave Whelan was playing for the All Stars X1 team

I see and chat with Ray Ashby at every home game, a very friendly and cheerful character, he's sometimes with Frankie Parr, another Wigan great.

Frankie Parr & Georgie Fame were best of pals - hence the Wigan connection. Georgie Fame came back to his old stomping ground a few years ago and played at Aspull Village Hall? and The Monaco Ballroom Hindley. It was a great night and Georgie (Clive Powell ) has never forgotten his roots.

I saw him at the Monaco on that occasion, he was on stage with his two sons, i gave him an old photo of himself as a 15 year old with the Beat Boys.

One of the best testimonials ever .Central Park was packed with stars. Ater the match there was a Caberet show in the rugby club .Georgie Fame topped the bill.There was a draw in the interval ,the prize was 5 days in Majorca for 2 .I won it and took my still to this day best mate Denis Dwyer with me ,our first time abroad .Thanks for posting this it brings back special. Memories.

I shared a few drinks with Colin and Billy (Boston) each Thursday night in the old Central Park bar in the late 60's. A great lad. Happy days!
