Right, this has been bugging me ... Is our superb England Goal-keeper related to the great Stan Heaton, all round top man, good-egg and star, who does so much at Lowerhouse Cricket Club ?

I think we should be told !

It's his twin brother....

Stan is Tom’s son.
Tom’s other son is Paul Heaton of The Beautiful South.
Stan and Paul are twins

Could you collect your coat please.

A true fact....Tom was related to Jim Heaton of Heatons furniture shop on Scotland Road in Nelson.I think Jim was his Uncle or great uncle.

Their mum Ternda was a bit of a boiler though

Serious reply.

No relation.

Tom also has a brother called Turner. He runs a plumbers.

Didn't he have a hit in the 80's under the name Glenn Frey

The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Oh it's on the street, the heat is on
