ENGLAND star Dennis Wise has signed up for a Rawtenstall team!
Dennis has agreed to endorse products made by sportswear products firm Gola, a part of D Jacobson & Sons.
The deal comes as the firm reported that sales in the first quarter of the year have leapt leap by 28 per cent over the same period last year.
.The company, which distributes footwear from its Valley factory on Bacup Road, bought the name Gola in 1997.
The name had lain dormant for a decade but researchers have test-marketed the brand and suggest it is still recognised by 73 per cent of people.
In its heyday Gola was endorsed by the likes of Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and England captain Gerry Francis, as well as being worn by clean-cut comic book hero Roy of the Rovers.
