No, the dusty Harry was the son of Dusty Harry who worked at Huncoat. Harry,s job was stone dust Barriers and dust suppression. Hence the name dusty. I think he commited suicide on the road in Within Grove. Billy did die in a motorbike accident. Willie Cooke in an overdose. And I think if Cashy can remember Tez died on the railway. Going down Clayton seems a good idea as I married a gal from Clayton the first time. Big mistake though. I called in the pub at Accringtons ground last time I came up. I knew Bobby Poole but lost track with him and everybody else when I left. Looking forwards to meeting some of you guys and Gals if poss.

Will do. My son plays for Folkestone in the Ryman league. He had a spell at Millway but they ran out of Money so all the young lads were sent away.
Last time I saw Willie was in the Broadway with a young gal and a large funny smelling fag on the go. He used to hang about with another pit lad called Roy Evans or as us pit lads called him. Roy pep pill. Think he lived on Blackburn road either over the road from Cairns Bike shop or maybe near to Jas Aspin. I think thats his name. His dad was a tatoo artist.

He used to catch last train back from Blackburn on Friday nights wi me n loads others, Just caught him one night or he would have gone under the train as it pulled in, Alcohol to blame fer that un.:D Jas dad everyone called him jasper, got all me tattoos done yon,always gave us a discount, top geezer.:) |
