Not born in Wigan ( born Leeds) but lived in Wigan from age 6 months to his mid teens...Owen ( Owney ) Madden. Moved with his family to New York he rose through the ranks of the Irish street gangs. Was described by no less than Al Capone as "the most ruthless viscious gangster ever "
He eventually became owner of the famous Cotton Club in New York´. If he was good enough for big Al, he´s good enough for me !
