Life In StHelens



I have lived in the North West for 6 years now and I cannot speak highly enough of the people of StHelens ! they always made me feel safe and welcome as a younger lad. When i first moved over I got put into a house the captain Chris Joynt owned and the neighbours all helped me out when frequently the boiler was on the blink and Joynty was busy elsewhere!!! Going to training with a blue complexion during the winter months was a common occurance and occasionally a flock of penguins would gather in my bedroom to escape the sweltering heat outside.... I drove past my first house the other day to discover that it was no longer there it had been reduced to a levelled pile of rubble, I will be honest I was a bit gutted as that house was where my early memories of playing for Saints came from, and it was a doss house for first team members who lived outside the town and had too much to drink after post match victory celebrations....
