Born at townleys in 1983. Was brought up in halliwell and went to st josephs rc primary on Shepherd cross street and then thornleigh after that. lived there until I was 18 when I met my other half and we moved to Farnworth. Lived there for a couple of years then moved to little Hulton where I've lived ever since.
My first game was against Fulham at burnden. I can still remember walking on to the burden terrace at the entrance closest to the lever end and being blown away by the size of the pitch. I can even still remember the smell. It was a great experience for me and I was hooked. All I can remember about the match is we won 3-0 and Tony philliskirk scored a penalty in front of the lever end. It was around 1990/91 I guess.
Thanks for the throwback Johnny, I missed all these threads as a late joiner.
