Wigan Album

Third from left, back row is Gerard Nolan (St Pats & John Fisher)On the front row end,right, is Michael Moffat (St Pats)

Back Row 2nd from left is Ged Dickinson and 4th Andrew Bowden (StCuthberts). Front row 1st on left is Joe or Paul Riley ?(St Cuthberts), 2nd from left Stephen Downing(St Edwards).The big lad centre front row was also from St Cuthberts can,t recall his name. The Coach was a teacher from Sacred Heart i think.

I think the lad on the end back row (left) is Aiden Murphy (St Pats) and the teachers name was Mr Mallin

Thanks, all the names ring a bell, my memory just needed a kick start.If i,m right i think Aiden Murphy went on to join the Police.

The lad at the back 2nd right looks like Dave Crowe(st judes)and the lad 3rd from left front row is i think Chris Ratchford also st judes

I played in the same Wigan colts side as Ged Dickinson, Chris Ratchford and Stephen Downing, all talented individuals. Ged and Chris signed professional terms for Wigan along with Martin Connaughton,Mick Nanyn and Nicky Kiss. Stephen Downing was as tough as teak never took a backward step on the pitch he wasn't very tall but he was stocky.

The "Big Lad" in the middle Eddie Kelly.(capt St Cuths)

Looking for a pic of my uncle Martin all I know is he played in this era and had a injury to his shoulder
