Wigan Album

This is a Preston based newspaper covering all Lancashire with National and local sport, that's why the title masthead is 'Last Football'. The Wigan Observer covered Wigan's news and sport only. In later years, the paper was printed at Brock Mill and renamed Football Pink.
Thanks for showing Ron.

I was going to ask was this the Football Pink as I remember my dad getting this paper on a Saturday.

The football Pink came later has Colin rightly says. I remember the Saturday evening pink newspaper for sport and always had a chuckle about some results being wrong. I never checked the pools with the paper and at that time no mobile phones so waited until the Sunday morning newspapers.

As well as the Football Pink there was the Bolton Buff.
Amazing how they got them printed and into the shops and onto the street so quickly after the whistles had blown.
Didn't catch the score on Netherfield v Latics game, went to their picturesque little ground by the side of the river Kent in Kendal quite a few times in the late 60's early 70's.

that is a right old sight to come to mind on Saturday evenings, Wiganer's in the Pink and Boltonians in the Buff, and if that was not saucy enough for them then the Sunday papers would always have made something up or made a play on the words that someone had said, and as Arthur said it was old or wrong news that was printed
