JonM Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 As a kid, I was always amused that Leigh's star man in their 1981/82 first division win, John Woods, was a rat-catcher. Ian Lucas, the Wigan prop/antique dealer was another unusual one. Jon Wells runs a B&B in Harrogate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
