One of the best pros I saw in the Lancs League was Chester Watson, was Churches Pro around 1960 think that was the last time Church won the league with Watson as pro his bowling figures that season were unbelievable 9-7 8-6 every week, most clean bowled to, seem to think he settled in Manchester, can never understand why he didn't play more for the West Indies
