FORMER Wire legend Mike Nicholas was on hand to show his support as Latchford Albion’s armed forces double header was a great success, with in excess of 300 spectators supporting the day at Victoria Park.
Latchford 2nds showed heart but the speed and fitness of the parachute regiment was too much and they ended up victors 46-12.
