last Tango in Wigan...

Started by: i-spy (15306) 

for no particular reason apart from a love of trivia I'm compiling a Wigan last list and you lot can help.
like who was Wigan's last knocker-upper...who scored the last goal at Springfield Park...the last try at Central Park..the last record played at the Casino...the last film at the Ritz....etc etc
all lasts (preferably with answers) gratefully received.

The last try at Central Park was scored by Tommy Martin of St Helens in the last game played there.

This is Mrs Agnes Wynne who was the "Knocker Upper" in Scholes from the 1930's to the 1960's. Not sure if she was the last one in Wigan though.

Is it Jenny James and Kym Marsh. Owd Dave?

Tonker may argue they're not from Wigan which is true as they're from Ashton and Stubshaw Cross. I don't watch it, but know them two were in it.

Was that the 'last song' played at the September 19th 'last night', or the 'last song' played at the December 4th 'last night'.
I'm On My Way by Dean Parrish was the last played on one of them, Do I Love You by Frank Wilson at the other.

Only one can be the true 'last night'. Which one was it?

Over to you, Brian (Green)
