Greatest Lancastrian?
An online poll to find the Greatest Lancastrian seems to suggest a strong Wigan influence... who gets your vote?
Personally, I supported Mike Harding as I am disgusted that his Radio 2 show is being axed.

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
Any list that misses off Tony Wilson isn't credible.
Or Stuart Hall.
Or David Lloyd.

What did Tony Wilson really do? He didn't like the Stone Roses!  He got people into taking drugs!

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
I've started another thread, linked to this one. I credited it to Claytoner, so here I apologise, believe it or not, to DJ Ripley. The thread is headed 'Holland's Pies'

Re: Greatest Lancastrian?
I'd put myself forward except, I was born in Cheshire, my Dad was working there for a couple of years before we came home.
I have since forgiven him for putting my Mother through such shame of having a child in a place they couldn't afford a home.
