LaticsPete Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Two matches played at Boundary Park on successive days of the same weekend both attracted crowds of over 20,000. Can you name the teams involved and the dates (or the season) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 You get the cigar! Showbiz XI v Northern Sportswriters XI the day after Latics v Posh. The Showbiz team was filled with stars that people of our mature years might remember such as Ronnie Carroll, Dave King, Tommy Steele, and Des O'Connor plus ex-footballers including Wally Barnes and Billy Wright. The sportswriters team had Latics manager at centre forward, George Hardwick at full back, and Tom Finney at outside right. Paul Doherty who later became Latics Secretary also played.
