WEST Lancashire sports fans rubbed shoulders with some of their heroes when they visited the town in October 1980.
Former world snooker champion Terry Griffiths played to a packed house at the Comrades Club in County Road, Ormskirk.
He beat former world amateur champion Cliff Wilson by five frames to four over nine exhibition frames.

CHILDREN from St John's CE Primary School in Burscough celebrated harvest festival in October 1980 by taking a close look at where their food comes from.
Pupils went along to farmer Jim Hesketh's barn and sat among the bales of hay for the traditional autumn service.
After the sermon the children went on a tour of the farm to see how Farmer Jim worked. They enjoyed the trip so much they painted pictures about it when they got back to the school.
