Blondi Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Roger Hunt still lives near Culcheth, also don't recall him being involved in a pub. Talking about Frank Worthington, think Bill Shankly tried to sign him for Liverpool, but didn't because of his high blood pressure, Worthington went away to relax in Majorca or somewhere and his blood pressure was even higher when he came back. He would have made a dreadful pub owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embankment Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Peter Reid - had shares in Bennys along with Brian Robson and Paul Mcgrath. Had some great nights in there.

He would have made a dreadful pub owner. I used to be a member at Leigh Golf Club which is in Culcheth. Was sat in the bar after a round next to a table with Roger Hunt getting 'interviewed' to become a member. Recognised him straight away and thought fucking hell if I can get in they won't turn Roger Hunt down. Reckon that was about 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 A bit more tenuous but The Anchor, off Bradshawgate was run for 20 years by Aggie & Ken Daly. Their utterly beautiful daughter was married to Paul Hallows. They often ran the pub when A&K were away. The Ian Greaves team of the day were frequent visitors ... tbh I think they were regular pub-crawlers on a post game Saturday evening. That was where they started or finished. I recall a spectacularly drunk Ian Greaves after our promotion ending defeat to Sammy Chung's Wolves. " .... an, an, an after the match ... d'yu know ... d'yu know wha' fckg Chung fckg sssshed to fckg me ? D'you ? He ssshed ... "yoooo deservedddd promo-shun". He fckg did ... little yellow cunt !!"

Nobody caused any trouble when he was the gaffer either, he'd have nutted them to the other end of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In more recent times Mike Walsh ran a Pizza Restaurant on the Costa Blanca - saw him a few times - kept very quiet about his football career - none of his staff I met at the time new anything of it - sold up a couple of years ago and back in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Bruce Ricoh had remained down south and Browny, as team captain took up the chance to be gaffer. While the cat’s away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
