Greatest Lancastrian?
An online poll to find the Greatest Lancastrian seems to suggest a strong Wigan influence... who gets your vote?
Personally, I supported Mike Harding as I am disgusted that his Radio 2 show is being axed. |

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
Any list that misses off Tony Wilson isn't credible.
Or Stuart Hall. Or David Lloyd. |
Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
Not Stuart Hall ! - met him :s_sick:

I've started another thread, linked to this one. I credited it to Claytoner, so here I apologise, believe it or not, to DJ Ripley. The thread is headed 'Holland's Pies'

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
I'd put myself forward except, I was born in Cheshire, my Dad was working there for a couple of years before we came home.
I have since forgiven him for putting my Mother through such shame of having a child in a place they couldn't afford a home. :) |

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
Gordon Burns was born in N.Ireland. And he is a proud Ulsterman. So why he is on the list I do not know.
Gerrard Winstanley? I still don't know what he did for Lancashire. Others that are missing:- Dame Mary Peters Anne Robinson Phyllis Bone Jon Culshaw Red Rum (honourary) |

After 400 votes, Fred Dibnah has taken a commanding lead in the Greatest Lancastrian poll. http://www.forgottenlancashire.co.uk...ncastrians.php ToffeeGuy's right - there are some obvious names missing, and some errors. Looks like a Yorkshire company is behind the errors... |
Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
That maybe why theres so few cast votes.

James Hargreaves - probably the grandad of the industrial revolution, that gave the world the British Empire!
