LANDLORD David Shott tells me that regulars at the Sportsman in Darwen Road, Bromley Cross, were delighted to see the Looking Back picture showing them setting off for a day at Haydock races in May, 1980.
I am asked to point out that the event was organised from the pub and had nothing to do with the Eagley Sports Club - as the caption said at the time.
David, who intends to display a framed copy of the picture in the pub, has also been told that the bookies had the more successful day.
