    It's understandable that Penistone and Cockermouth could cause confusion...

    Wooley village (where Boycott used to live is under wakey)
    When i was a lad however wooley for me wasn't actually that wooley. Wooley was the area where the pit was and where the football/cricket teams were based. We used to go to the wooley pub which was only a shortish walk up the road from darton or mapp. This area is barnsley.
    So i can see the confusion to be fair: 2 wooley's.

    I lived at the top end of Worsbrough Dale when Scargill had his bungalow. His daughter Margaret was in my year at high school and shared some of the lessons.

    Talk about famous. True story - early 80's me and some mates went on holiday to Corfu. Going through the Greek passport checks, the bloke takes my passport and has a look, then says, "Aaaah.... Barnsleeee" then sticks a clenched fist in the air and at the top of his voice shouts "ARTHUR SCARGEEEL!" And that was before the miners strike!
