THIS week we go back to 1980, the year JR was shot and Juliet Bravo showed Jean D'Arblay struggling for female equality in a fictional Lancashire village.

It was also the year that the Brooklands Cricket team took on each other in a 'Superstars' competition.

First team skipper Derek Anderton, Mark Swindlehurst, Roger Finn, Jack Call, who also chairman of Ormskirk Rugby Club, Don Pratt and Dave Brighouse entered into the spirit of the occasion.

They went into battle in six events including archery, football penalties, rugby conversions, golf putting and bowling.

All the men dressed up with Mark Swindlehurst in his Charlie Chaplin costume declared the winner.
