Just thinking recently, silly as it seems, about where our players actually live. Whilst not on par with top PL earners they will still be seriously well off (probably mostly millionaires) so where do we think they might live? Ribble Valley? Cheshire? Don’t know why I got to thinking about it but I think it might have something to do with Gudmunson returning. Wondering where he might live.
Anybody any ideas or does anyone actually know where any live. I think we can discount Stoops or Hall Carr and pretty much all of Bacup.

Ashley Barnes bought a Mercedes V Class MPV to transport a few of his team-mates up from South Manchester, that was before his temporary 12 month interest in cycling in June 2021. He was living in Wilmslow then .. Jay Rod lives in the Ribble Valley, I believe.

Used to see a few knocking around Hale, Wilmslow that area when I lived in Altrincham.

Would often see George Boyd at Bowdon Cricket Club where my lad played.

Massengo loves locally I think - possibly the house that Tom Heaton lived in, in Cliviger. I’m only judging this from pictures from his Instagram that look very similar.

A lot live in Manchester city centre in high rise apartments.

One thing is for certain. None of them will live in Barley.

Ribble Valley, Cheshire and High Rise apartments in Manchester City Centre are popular with our players as long as there is easy airport access.I see plenty of exact addresses through work but am of course governed by GDPR..

A very bear looking dog - he did an interview once while walking it in Heaton Park.

I did hear, although nothing to substantiate it, that a lot of the players who have come in during the last two years are renting apartments in Manchester that are owned by a former Premier League winner.

Didn't realise Igor Stepanovs had such a large property portfolio...

At one point I think some players lived in Ilex Mill Rawtenstall. Kevin McDonald and David Edgar lived in Summerseat and were regulars in the Footballers pub.

JBG lives Altrincham / Hale way.

Shame we spent all that money on Gawthorpe when we could have maybe used it to set up a new training centre closer to the players and Manchester.

He certainly developed an ecosystem didn't he CT, to put it politely.

I used to deliver Colin Blant his Racing post up Linden Lea at Balladen in 60s and lived next door to Paul Fletcher up Heightside Ave Newchurch in the 80s ....Colin Blant was a lovely fella as was Paul Fletcher my son was an avid Newcastle supporter when Shearer was around he got us Freebies for the Bolton v Newcastle game...so they do live amongst us and Colin only lived 2 minutes from Hall Carr Ian so it was very close you must remember Colin at Balladen.

How was this nonsense getting past Alan Pace unchecked

Why is it nonsense? I’m sure they weren’t forced into renting from him.

I saw Cornet a few times in Manchester City centre so presume he lived there.

Not sure if many live in the ribble valley, but Jay lives in Waddington.

Owen Coyle lived in a house near Northcote on the A59 during his time with us.

Didn’t Dyche live in Whalley?

Owen Coyle is settled in the area work permitting.

I think the Calderstones house(s) may belong to the club and has been used by many in recent years. Also Northcote Park did feature in MtB and one player may still live on the estate now.Only a few hundred metres from Blackburn's training ground for what it's worth.

I think it featured on Mission to Burnley because someone else prominent at the club lived there - not one of the players.

Alan Pace has a house on the new estate opposite Northcote Manor, as does Connor Roberts.

Lyle Foster lives on Barclay Hills.

Ekdal has a flat above the second hand shop across from the Duke of York. He walks across pit top on match days..

That’s when he wasn’t in Ninos.

There was ex manager that lived in a shoe
And when he was a player he played in Sky Blue
He bought all these wingers but played only 2
In no longer managing The Claret and Blue.
Sorry about that.

Wouldn’t surprise me to find some in the closed off parts of Rossendale, without wanting to go into specific areas.

My family lived on Brunshaw Rd, Burnley. Apparently my Mum bought the house from either Burnley Football Club or Jimmy Adamson, I forget which. I do remember Adamson lived in the house at the time.

I remember as a kid Jimmy Adamson had a house of Scott Park Road overlooking the park ( bottom end near Coal Clough lane) and everyone used to play football in the Park in front of it hoping he'd come out and sign uou up. I never saw him despite ensuring the ball went over the railings into his garden a few times. Probably one of the urban myths at the time
As mentioned recently with his sad passing Leighton James lived at Captains cottage opposite the George iv.

Miller used to have the sweet shop next to the Turf,Blacklaw used to have the paper shop at the top of Brunshaw.

Because he wanted to keep dating the pretty girl.

My best mates parents during the sixties bought Harry Potts house on Hillsborough avenue in Brierfield. I went there as he moved in and Harry was really nice, very friendly and gave my mate lots of Burnley stuff.

King Arthur used to live on Malham Wend in Barrowford.

Western Avenue I think it is, big houses overlooking the park. Prior to that, he’d lived on Deerpark Road.

Probably explains why he didn’t sign you up then

As mentioned above, there's a few in Manchester city centre. I bumped into Cornet on Market Street when he was with us, and Scott Twine at a restaurant in Ancoats last year (and they were both gracious enough to stop and chat and have a picture).

Not for long. He died there, right on the corner with Manchester Road. He hadn’t lived there long having moved from Whins Lane at Simonstone.

My mate now lives in the house on Scott Park Road where Bob Lord lived. He once found what he thought was a tramp in his front garden (my mate not Bob Lord). Turned out to be Ian McKellen looking for the house he was born in
