Wigan Album

Had many a pint wi jacky in the Crooked Wheel. Always a gentleman and could tell a tale with the best of em.

Dave, you knew my Uncle Jack? Belting fella

Back in the forties I knew a Jack Kinane living in Chestnut Road…could this be the same? he had a younger brother Micheal.

Yes GrahamN this is the same Jack Kinane you are talking about. He had a younger brother Mick.

Lovely nostalgia seeing Jack, ( it’s what Wiganworld does!) I’ve never seen or heard of the family since they left Chestnut Road around about 1948, Jack was older than me and Micheal was my playmate back in our primary school days. When the family left number 127 the McGurren family moved in, one of the McGurren sons Bernard,played for Wigan.

I bet Jack and mi dad Syd banny could tell you some tales.

Yes definitely, my dad told me Jack and Syd was inseparable… two great blokes.. do you have any stories?
