The former neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: “When we moved here, I think Andy would be maybe 16 or 17, so he was almost going away to university.<\/p>\n
“The three boys played football in the garden, a lot, and their footballs came over into our garden, so we saw and heard them quite a lot.”<\/p>\n
Her husband recalled how even in his teenage years Burnham was a good communicator and “remembered people”.<\/p>\n
“We only really met him just before he went to university and he was obviously very good then, so he’d learned those skills quite early on,” he said.<\/p>\n
Danni, who lives close to Common Lane, said her son attended college with Burnham’s niece and said she occasionally sees the Labour man in the local Sainsbury’s store.<\/p>\n
She said it was “really exciting” that someone who grew up in the village could become the country’s next prime minister.<\/p>\n
“He just seems like a very kind of down-to-earth guy and I think he’s going to involve the north a bit more which is always nice, because it’s always very south-centric isn’t it down at Parliament.”<\/p>\n
A few doors down from Burnham’s childhood home was Lindsay, who only recently moved to the area but remembered him from his time as MP for Leigh – before he left Westminster to run for Greater Manchester mayor.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s a good thing for the North, I do, hopefully, he’ll do really well,” she said.<\/p>\n
“He’s just always worked hard at what he’s done and he deserves to be where he is.<\/p>\n
“You used to see him walking down Bradshawgate in Leigh all the time, waiting for you to go and approach him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
