So very sad to hear of the passing of Pat Dooney , his knowledge and enthusiasm of the local Amateur Game in the 1960's & 70's was second to none ! Pat played for the Wigan & District Schoolboys in the mid 1960's , going on to play for Wigan Athletic First Team and Reserves in the late 1960's . When in the Reserves , he even played alongside the great Harry Lyon , who was approaching the end of his career at that time . R.I.P. Pat , we will miss you

Very, very sad news, he was a major contributer to the sports section and will be missed, immensely.

R.I.P

he was my friend for over 40yrs & we kept in touch on a regular basis. we went on holidays together with others from bryn club & to say i,m gutted is an understatement. he played in the burnley youth team who won the youth cup & recemntly went up to burnley for a club visit & was shown around by 1 of his ex team mates steve kindon . iv,e lost a good & valued friend & i shall miss him terribley . goodbye pat & have a safe journey too the other side.
