Thanks for that Jim, didn't know that about young Theo, can remember Clyde Walcott, also Everton Weeks and Frank Worrell or the three 'Ws' as they were known. The Lancs League has had some great Professionals down the years, Wes Hall at Accy, Viv Richards and Michael Holding at Rishton, Bobby Simpson at Enfield, and lets not forget that Shane Warne sawed his wild oats in Accy before he became world famous
