Not long ago I discovered that this guy is either my Grandma's Cousin, or is my Great Uncle - still trying to figure out which?

Apart from knowing that he scored the 1st Rugby League try at Wembly, I know little else.

Anyone got any info/links etc???

Now my 10 year old definitely believes it's his destiny to play at Wembly for Wigan lol

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"



I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew
Between the wars

Aww beltin - don't know why I didn't look there. Just googled and searched Hindley history sites. Unfortunately all my family on that side are dead or very old with dodgy memories. Might have helped if I'd had Syd instead of Sid.

So Ta

Tell him he'll have to get his mum to clean his boots when he does, or better still get that St.Helens fella to get some work done and clean them for him. :wink:

Hi Donna,

His Grandaughter used to live next door to me.

His family live near the Lord Nelson in Hindley.

Sid (I think it was Spelt Syd TBH) lived his last few years in Hindley. A Friend of mine at school was Friends/Related to his family and a couple of times whilst at Park High we went to his house. He was in his 80's then but he could still tell you all the old tales.

He was a really good bloke to talk to!






Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock

"I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count"

[quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote]

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015!

"The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth."

Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club

Let's hope he's right, good luck to him !!!!






Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"

'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'

'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'

Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.

Thanks all - more research for me:)

Don't you just love it when elderly relatives make an innocent passing comment:)
