Well I didn’t know that.

Watching the RL challenge cup and a HT interview with Jonathan Davies & Paul Sculthorpe.
Turns out Sculthorpe was born in Burnley. Well I didn’t know that.
Great player BTW.

Interesting that James Anderson doesn't make the list of 98!

He’s in the separate sportsperson category at the top. I imagine the others are ‘miscellaneous’.

I did, he’s a lovely lad is Julian Riley, I went to school with his brother who sadly passed away in around 2002 so I’ve always looked out for him.

My mate from Halifax coached a young Sculthorpe, and told me he couldn't understand a word he said.

Proper Burnley then.

He is from Blackhill which is out in the sticks near Consett. I went through there a few weeks ago when Ashington were playing at Consett in the NPL(E).
