Swallowneck At The Lad's Club! (Score:1)
I have taken some excellent photos of Swallowneck outside of Salford Lad's Club over the years - with a towering quiff or a bowl haircut on his head. Several quite dramatic poses in some shots!

The True Tragedy Of Swallowneck... (Score:1)
He just simply doesn't realise how much people warm to him!

I have known him for nearly twenty years, and yeah, we may have sat many times on the front porch drinking coffee and bitching about certain swines behind their backs in the morning, but I have never tired of those ol' tales of his teenage hi-jinks in Dewsbury and Heckmondwike - no matter how many times I hears 'em!

Viva Swallowneck

      An unrelated jump from 36% to 93% in favour since this thread has appeared here? Do we pervert the course of democracy here?!
