www.whydelilah.co.uk/news/27_Nov_2008/City+star+ready+to+start+Christmas+in+Longton.htmlsorry if this has already been posted Stoke star Liam Lawrence will turn on Longton's Christmas lights on Friday. The City midfielder, who is currently recovering from injury, will be in the town from 5.15pm ready to turn the lights on at 5.45pm. Lawrence will also join in the parade with the Trentham Brass Brand, Santa and the Lord Mayor, prior to the switch on. The event, organised by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, will kick off at 1.30pm with local school children singing. There will also be dancing by Street Feet, and performances from local artists Jade Wilkinson, and indie band Sonic Lives Above. There will be a range of stalls, small fair rides, a hog roast, raffles, and free mince pies and shortbread biscuits. Stoke mascots Pottermus and Pottermiss will also be on hand for a penalty shootout. A Santa's Grotto will be set up in Longton Market and there will be story telling at Gladstone Pottery Museum. Linda Davies, a solutions advisor for the city council, said: "We are really happy that Liam has agreed to switch on the lights. "This is the first year we have had a celebrity to promote our event and put Longton back on the map."

Lets hope he doesn't take his dog with him, as he's leaning forward to switch on the lights...BANG...falls over the dog, onto the master switches and fucks Stoke on Trents electricity off for the night...like a scene from League of Gentlemen...  |

Longton today tomorrow Blackpool....
Perhaps one day he'll follow both Stan Matthews ( 1951 ) and Gordon Banks ( 1973 ) in switching on the Blackpool illuminations...though unlike in years gone by when true national celebs did the honours ( or were given the honour ) in recent years it seems any throw away 2nd rate boy/girl band member ( in conjunction with BBC radio 2 ) has become the order of the day

Longton, didn't know they had any lights?
I think Phil "the Power" Taylor is doing/done the Hanley lights (pun probably intended)...
