Old Foes

Welcoming another in Chorley now!

We are at home but only time I went to Chorley we lost the Lancs Junior Cup Final to Skem ...I think 🤔 ....early 70’s
Chorleys ground hasn't changed since you last went, been a couple of times as I live in Horwich nice clubhouse.
 
I remember Walter Stanley playing for Makerfield Mill in 1961. I went to watch them play on a ground opposite Birchall High School in Ashton in the early sixties. I think it was with his brothers family who lived near us.
Did Walter play for Cromptons Recs ?

Carl Davenport scored 45 goals in one season for Latics before being released

The ground on Warrington Road was certainly Crompton Rec's ground and Walter may have played for them at some time. My memory is not as sharp as it used to be but I know he played for Makerfield Mill in 61 as the team photo on Wigan World shows.
