Gordon and Cath on their wedding day
Former Chorley FC player Gordon Griffith wouldn’t have heard of the diamond formation when he was playing.
But he certainly has now.
For Gordon and his wife Cath, who have lived in a bungalow in Athol Grove, Chorley, since 1966, will celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary on Thursday, May 20.

The pair married in 1961 when Gordon was 21 and Cath 22 after courting for two years.
They met at the old Tudor ballroom in Chorley, but Gordon was also aware of Cath as she and her mother served teas at Chorley Football Club where Cath’s dad was one of the directors.
