I was reading recently about how this young man who attends our Centre of Excellence had earned selection for the Lancashire under-16 team. He's from Whitworth so I wondered if he's a relative of Vinny or John who used to run the "Cock and Magpie"?
If he's one the Leech family of footballers from Whitworth he should be a good player. Vinny was a stalwart at Spotland, John was a very good amateur player and George was a decent amateur also.
From good stock then. Good luck to the lad. Vinny is one of my all-time favourite Dale players. I know that he's lived in Poulton-le-Fylde for years but does he ever come to games? Did he come to that gala centenary dinner in 2007?
