Not a very good one mind, but still. School team got to the Town cup final so we get to play the final at Brighton's Withdean Stadium. Should be a good experience.

Well done and good luck.

What position do you play? Don't tell me, a tricky forward with excellent dribbling skills that everyone boo's

You could actually kill two birds with one stone and hold the school sports day whilst you're there!
Well in, young man. You'll remember it forever so good luck.

Well done Dax - are you a full back by any chance?

Best I ever managed was the wonderful Stainton Park.

Rugby or football, Sluffy?

Rugby - remember Des Drummund?

Well I had schoolboy trials at Leigh and went down with his brother Alva - Leigh signed him up. Alva used to take his younger brother Des to training - Des was 'spotted' and the rest is history.

I was quite good at Rugby but never really took to the game - and look where I have ended up - Sluff!!!

It's enough to make a grown man cry!

I played on the SoL pitch, once. Stadium was empty like. Much like it is now, come to think of it. I came on as a sub, and had an influence in one of my teams goals. We lost 4-2 in the end. We were 2-0 up n'arl!

I played (And won 4-1) in the Bolton schools cup final (1985) at Burden Park. We had a big crowd that night. Everyone who was supposed to be in detention was forced to go to the game. There were hundreds there.

My mum took some pictures with a crappy old point and click camera. We still have discussions which dot is me so I can't post any pictures to prove it. I can recreate it though.

I think being the right full back I am the one on the far right.

Careful, you'll be on your way to Upton Park with statistics like that.

I was at the Bolton Schools final at Burnden a couple of years before that, with Thornleigh ( v Sharples)

Not as a player, you understand, but as a detainee

Played on the beach-like pitch of Hilton Park with my independent junior team against a Leigh RMI team as part of a Family Fun day.

Of course the crowd of around 400 were in support of the RMI side against this mystery team, not knowing that we had a team with probably had more Leythers in it who were probably the best junior side in the town.
We ran out 3-1 winners and got a free hotdog each or something - good times.

After that RMI and Atherton LR signed up quite a few of our players to play on the Sunday (we were a Saturday team). Not me though alas, who had to settle with a few Inter-league appearences before eventually being replaced. :|
