Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Does anybody else remember Mick. I first played football in the same team as him for the Sacred Heart Church, the one that`s just been pulled down, aged about 10 or 11. He used to live on Russia St. I also used to be one of the DJ`s upstairs in the function room inside the church too!! Does any one remember going there on friday nights?

Has nobody told you not to make posts in the "Hall of Fame" about anything football related. We had a thread about Mike Duxbury and Brett Omerod, to some members they are famous Accrington people, even the thread about Accrington Stanley has disappeared which I find most insulting. The moderator of the "Hall of Fame" has quietly removed these threads and it has been noticed.
So before anyone posts in this section of the forum remember NO FOOTBALL or it will be deleted.

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Bagpuss there is more than one moderator in here belive it or not!!!.
If things where moved i'm sure it was for a reason!!!!!

This member is simply trying to make a new thread and keep conversation up, which believe it or not is what a forum is for!! so please dont show new posters how to ruin a thread!!!

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Ok Wingy point taken but I was quite annoyed that in the threads in question that anything to do with football was thought by some should not appear in the hall of fame.
Micron I have distant memories of a disco upstairs in the function room but I was very young, probably the first disco I went to.

Mike Duxbury once came to our next door neighbours bonfire when I was a kid. He was your all-round average nice guy from what I remember - this was in the days when top class footballers weren't paid astronomical wages and didn't have an overinflated opinion of their worth to society.

Whilst a United and England player Mick Duxbury lived in Campion Drive Helmshore,he was a quiet pleasant unassuming lad who was always glad to share a joke about the last games result or his performance.Certainly a pleasant change from the prima donnas of today!

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Hi,

I am working with him now. I will ask him tomorrow.

Regards
Darren

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

I wouldn't know really. I would have to ask him but he is quite embarassed by people still recognising him in the streets..... hhahahahaha softie....

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

In his playing days, he used to come in the 147 snooker club Rising Bridge, quite often came in with other United players, Arnold Murran was a regular visitor too, nice quiet lad easy to get on with, not sure but think he still lives in Ossy

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Yes ,he was a quiet unassuming kind of lad,used to walk his dog past our house.The dog a Labradour(I think) used to pause on our driveway for a toilet break.
I had great plans to sell the resulting spoil to Stretford enders.Alas Mike moved away.
Such is my fickle claim to fame!

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

I remember Mick Duxbury I also remember going to the Friday night disco in the function room at the church.

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

He didn't use the fancy designer shops for his furniture either, I delivered his new suite from that non-glamourous shop that used to be on Blackburn Rd... Accrington Co-Op :D

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Did he get Divvy, dave :D

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

I was at the Sacred Heart at the same time as Mick ,although he was older than me I was in the same class as Louise Duxbury . I think she may have been his sister Im not 100% sure.
Any one remember a french lad called Alfonso who was at Sacred Heart about the same time? Always amazed me there be a "foreigner" one that sounded foreign as well lol at the school.

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

Louise is Micks sister and he has an older sister Ann who is the same age as me

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

a nicer lad you could not wish to meet . quiet unassumig far removed from todays prima donna's so called.

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
 

I wonder what his pay scale was in those days,as an England international you would think he was up there with the best,but who knows?

Re: Mick Duxbury (ex Man Utd)
