The Things We Do For Love â Janet Royle
Real Footballers Wives Janet Royle
The house on Fowler Street was a huge three-story Victorian terrace just off Breck Road and nearer to Anfield than Goodison Park It belonged to my grandparents, who d lived there throughout the war and it was always full of people and cousins and noise. The cellar had been the bombshelter during the blitz and there was a big grid over the front step so you could escape if the house was hit. My mum was one of eight so at one time there were 11 of us living there. It was great fun.

Catholic nuns ruled Paddock House Convent Grammar in Accrington with a rod of iron and although my parents were absolutely thrilled that I passed my 11 plus and won a place, I have mixed memories of my time there. My brothers all went to St Theodore s High in Burnley but my sister, Linda, followed in my footsteps. It was a good school, the sort of education parents were grateful for and it prepared you well for life, but it was awfully strict and I was ready to leave when I did. I finished at 16 then went on to college, where I studied Art & Design.
