Quote ="GMP"A man with a knife attempted to steal cash from a post office in Aspull.
At 8.20am on Tuesday 23rd December 2014, a man went into Aspull Moor Post Office on Scot Lane.
He bought a packet of mints before producing a 12" knife and demanded cash.
The woman at the till refused his demands after which the man said he was only joking and left. He got into dark red or maroon hatchback car and drove towards Haigh Road on the wrong side of the road. He then turned around and drove along Bolton Road in the direction of Bolton.
Police have released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the attempted robbery.
PC John Catterall said: "Whatever this mans intention was, he brandished a knife at a lone cashier and while she was very brave she was left extremely upset by the incident. If anyone remembers seeing a man leaving the area in the car described or if they recognise the man in the image I would ask they contact police as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 7124 , 101 or the independent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.'"

Does anyone recognise him? I'm sure I've seen him at matches but no idea what his name is. Also if anyone knows how to put the pic straight into the thread please do, I'm rubbish with technology
