Meet legend at library

FANS can grill Ray French in a question and answer session at Chadderton Library.

FORMER international Ray French is heading to Chadderton Library next week to meet fans and talk about the sport.

The rugby league broadcaster, columnist and BBC commentator will then take part in a question and answer session.

He will be at the library, on Burnley Street, from 6pm to 7pm on Friday, February 25.

The former Widnes and St Helens forward, a schoolteacher by profession and an iconic figure after spending a lifetime on the field and in the commentary box, has written his eighth book, Ray French... and Rugby.

In it he assesses the current state of rugby league and rugby union and offers his passionate and often controversial opinions on the two codes.

If you are interested in going along, call the library on (0161) 770 5656 or email chadderton.library@oldham.gov.uk
