Thay looks suspiciously like Mickey Dalton on the extreme left wearing the hat...Is it?

I wonder why he's wearing a white glove

It's Dalton, I'm sure of it. Why wasn't this time waster put behind bars? He'd think nothing of bringing walking day processions into disrepute. And yet he was feted as a Wigan character...What a travesty...He was nothing but a lazy alcoholic who shirked at the very mention of work. Grrrr...

Typical personal attack by Jarvo.I just hope some of Mr Dalton's relatives (if it is indeed him) see Jarvo's remarks and take appropriate action.

Why was the general manager of the finest engineering company in the country having a party in a Wigan club.He walked the shop floor in his hat to see 6000 workers.

That isn't Micky Dalton.

Didn't Dalton wear a white glove?
