I almost ran over a bloke in Littleborough yesterday who was, I'm sure, the ex-Dale manager, Peter Madden. He looked older, obviously, but was lithe and manouvred his tall frame with aplomb amid the passing cars.
I know he once ran a pub in Smithy Bridge but presumed he'd moved out long ago. Got me thinking: how many other ex-managers and players have remained in the town after their football careers ended? |  | | |  |

Tophams Tavern
Used to frequent during the 1980s. Sadly, the Oldham Brewery is no longer, a decent pint was OB
Wouldn't be surprised if he still lives local since his family settled here, I knew one of his daughters very well (no, not like that!) |  |

Peter lives in Smithy Bridge and his son David still lives in Littleborough I have spoken a few times to Peter in the pub recently and still tells a good tale about the old days Eui Marinez, Dennis Wann, Alan Weir etc and how Bill Shankley nearly signed him for Liverpool I think Peter was either at Rotherham or Dalington at the time . | | | |

Still see him round the 'Boro quite regularly. His son used to frequent the Sun Hotel when the Hitman had it. Think Dick Conner used to have the Carters on Spotland Rd. Barry Diamond lives in the 'Boro as well I think. |  | | |

Pretty sure that a pub in littleboro was run by an ex Maidstone and gillingham goalkeeper but forget the guys name. Think hare and hounds was run by one of the greenhoffs and Michael Oliver has shares in the bookies on Halifax rd. well I say say shares but he virtually lived there. Nice guy though |  |

Iain Hesford- He had three pubs in Littleborough, The Queens, Sun Hotel and the Caldermoor. Absolute top bloke was Iain. Olly had a few demons, but like you say, T.R. was a top bloke. | | | |

Probably off for a round with milly. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

I'm not sure he's rich enough to be brushing shoulders with the likes of milly....
Maybe a window cleaning round? | | | |

Funny you should mention that.
When we saw The Shard last Saturday, R17ALE wondered if it was on milly's round. | |

Jim McCalliog (ex-Scotland and Man U) used to the manager at the Winston Churchill for a while, in the early 80's I think
Scored the winning goal for Scotland in their famous 3-2 defeat of England at Wembley in 1967, their first defeat following the '66 World Cup win | |
