Question

A pub in St Helens, the Liverpool Arms has a picture of a saints player holding a blue head. Why a blue head??

Answer 1

The blue head goes back to the sixteen hundreds when rugby league had just been made up. A liverpudlian was decapatated for raping a rugby league players wife, the player, destrought from what had happened to his wife, went crazy and started doing horrible things to the chopped off head of the rapist. He dipped it in blue paint and carried it with him everywhere.
