miamiwhite Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Plus we had a Bolton born chap with the honour of being the only one to manage both Man City and Man United. He's also credited with being instrumental in the respective clubs's moves to Old Trafford and Maine Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Jay Oghani knows this lad I think, I remember him by sight as he was from AB. Both right really. Simon played at full back originally but John Beck played him as a forward. From memory I thought he played wide that day against us. Remember he hated John Beck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woznotwas Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Two Kearsley lads worth a mention. Thomas Mort born 1897 played 28 times for Rochdale before being sold to Villa for £1000 about 1921 - prob a decent fee then. Went on to play 337 games in defence for Villa and 3 times for England. He would bolster the defence. Other one may be remembered by thowder end - Joe Hayes had already worked in a mill and the pit when given a trial at Man City aged 17. Scored 2 against Spurs 2 months later and played a total of 331 times for City including 1955/6 FA cup finals, scoring one goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really good call - decent player by all accounts In fact I went to primary school with his son - they lived on Plodder Lane at the time Joe was in the same Manchester City 1955 Cup Final team as Jimmy Meadows who I mentioned earlier in this thread - City had a decent side in them days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Kirkman...Man City and Newcastle....his son is a well known face at the match, a good few off here will know him. Howarths are from Harwood. Lee's brother Neil played for Macc in the league too. My step dad was big pals with their old man, we saw them play on opposite sides Macc v Barnet late nineties.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
