Salford Lads Club
Steve Redhead, Rock's Backpages, August 2007
'YOU SALFORD NANCY Boy!' was a regular insult hurled from the wings at the late Anthony H. Wilson, educated at De La Salle College in Salford (where ace pop photographer Kevin Cummins was schooled too) before he went to Cambridge University, throughout his time as a Granada TV frontman from the 1970s onwards much as festival crowds chanted 'John Peel's a Cunt!' when Peel presented or DJ-ed in the 1970s and 1980s.
