Eddie,Thanks, I remember Sutcliffes as Wigan engine specialists as were Douglas Garage( Their competitors) and this appears to have been a takeover ? Sadly the F.T business appears to have been mismanaged in expansion??
Trevor was described to me as a likable easy going chap.Too easy going and trusting some say,
That just about sums the man up as I remember him AB.
my dad worked for trevorsutcliffe till 1981,retiring at the age of 71, he thought very highly of trevor and was very fond of him, he spent time at trevors house doing jobs around the the house and garden, as you say trevor was a real gentleman and people took advantage of his good nature, trevor gave my dad a watch when he retired, trevor had a great dane dog called blue, which used to follow my dad home when he came home for his dinner, he lived close to sutcliffes at the time, dad was so sorry when he heard trevor passed away.
