About Aspull Juniors FC.

An Ostrich has been a heraldic symbol of Aspull Village for over 600 years. Aspull Urban District Council chose it as a symbol because since 1371 it has appeared on the coat of arms of the Earl of Crawford, who later occupied Haigh Hall and became chief landowner in Aspull.

The bird has a key on it’s mouth because it was believed to be capable of eating iron So became a symbol of strength.

Cannel Coal was found in Aspull. There was several large collieries dating back to the 18th Century, also Malt Kins and a Cotton Mill. In 1886 the Crawford, Kirkless, Moor and Woodshed Pits in the township belonging to the Wigan Coal and Iron Company employed over 1,000 workers. Aspull’s long history of mining left a legacy of old mineshafts, water drainage tunnels and abandoned mine workings.
