IT’S quite a validation of the importance of Horwich in enjoying the Great Outdoors that an anorak has been named after it.
Designer Gary Aspden created a new anorak for Adidas that has been worn by David Beckham and Liam Gallagher. There’s also a Horwich tracksuit on the way.
Mr Aspden has friends in the area and spent a lot of time in Horwich as a youth so appears to have fond memories of it.
It’s a matter of pride but I don’t think we’ll hear mums insisting “don’t forget to put your Horwich on in this weather” anytime soon.
