My great great great grandfather was a Scandinavian fisherman shipwrecked of the coast of Southport and never returned home. From that the family ended up in Fleetwood and my Father was born at 46 Park ave Fleetwood.

My mother her sister and 2 brothers where the first generation of that side of the family to be born outside of Belfast. They were all born in Blackpool.

I was born in the Vic and grew up on Nansen Road Fleetwood. Was a Ball boy at Fleetwood 85/86/87 before I turned Tangerine. My dad who passed away end of March this year has always been a Fleetwood fan so always had plenty of banter with him over football.

I did a dna test and I have 0% English in me which is amazing as I would expect to of had some but I don’t.

I class myself as white British but my dna says otherwise.

Yep , it stopped the year after I left. That and CCF were the 2 things I didn't enjoy. Not that I 'enjoyed ' some of the stuff we were
taught. Physics and Chemistry weren't for me , usually double periods as well. More of a languages man....

Mum born in Blackpool, dad in either Chorley or Bury, not sure (he was born in one but lived in the other, but not sure which way round !)

I was born in some old hospital in St Annes as Vic/Glenroyd were full, but lived in Blackpool up until 22, then have lived in London, Sydney, New York, and now Walton-on-Thames in Surrey.
