ENGLAND World Cup winner Nobby Stiles, who sadly passed away last October, scaled the heights in a long career in football, playing sport s most iconic stadia across the globe. But on 27 July 1975 the hugely popular England midfielder added Knowsley Road to that list of celebrated venues. Stiles joined fellow former Manchester United colleagues Bobby Charlton and David Herd in turning out for an All Stars XI to play a Saints XI in aid of John Mantle s testimonial. Stiles, who played in every minute of England s 1966 World Cup campaign, famously danced a jig of delight around Wembley with the gleaming Jules Rimet.
And we received a reply from one of the players featured - Norman Critchley. Seated in the front row are headteacher Bill Garner, who played for the Saints before and during the Second World War, and dual code international John Mantle. But Norman gave us the names of all the other lads in the squad. He explained: It was all the same lads who was in the football team as well. Five of us played for the schools town team also, I still see some of them now and then we were not a bad team. John Mantle used to get me out of lessons I didn t like and I would just train on the field instead.
Rivington Road rugby league team RIVINGTON Secondary school - or Big Rivvy - produced plenty of excellent rugby league players over the years. It is maybe not surprising, especially when they had the likes of former Saints great John Mantle and ex-Barrow full back Steve Tickle on the staff in the 70s and 80s. And here is a Rivington team-shot ahead of a big schools final at Knowsley Road - it looks like it is from the 1980s. Can any readers pick themselves or their relatives out of it and give us a date and any details of how the game went?
