ALAN WHALLEY'S WORLD

VIDEO expert Ron Lee is hoping to trundle back to a time when the Saints travelled to their home games by horse-drawn wagonette.

Ron, now about to produce a commemorative video of the Knowsley Road club, is hunting around for a photograph of that team wagon which used to convey players to the ground from their dressing rooms, then housed in the old Talbot Hotel (now known as The Sportmans).

Another flashback picture sought by Ron (owner of North West Video) is that of William Douglas Herman, founder of Saints in 1874 and chief chemist at Pilkington.

IF anyone can help they could either drop me a line at the Star or contact Ron direct on St Helens 29976.
