The Bert Trautman story is on the history channel (12) at the moment.
It'll more than likely be repeated later today or tomorrow.

Quoted from Wikipedia on Huyton -

The prisoner of war camp closed in 1948. Many of its inmates 'went native', stayed in
Britain and married local women. Among those in the Huyton camp was Bert Trautmann who later went on to be the 1950s goalkeeper for Manchester City. From 1944, American servicemen were temporarily stationed in Huyton. Older Huytonians still recall the tensions between black and white G.I.s which resulted in a night known as ‘the shoot out at the Eagle and Child’ (local public house).[5]

This one also wasnt born in St Helens but went out of St Helens ABA later





This lovely lad I went to school with and was sorry to hear of his sad end.
Keith Wallace born 1961 in Prescot , started out with BICC Amateur Boxing Club based at the Prescot factory, Represented England at 1980 Moscow Olympics, ABA Champ twice(Flyweight)and later in 1983 as a professional became Commonwealth Champion. Obviously destined for glory. Unfortunately he died of cancer in 1999 age 38
