Hey Meds, I'm certain he took British Nationality several years ago, but you're right, it's time to call it quits.

Re: Excuse me Mr Rooney!
You know, Morley, you are so right. I'm nigh on 85 and lived every minute in Billinge On the rare occasion I meet my old Billinger mates in the pub, we always use the dialect. It's concerning to know that people listening to us don't understand a word and they invariably are 50 or more years old and...

Re: John Martin 1945-2023
Good entertainment in't Riverside, especially after a home win.
He'll be sadly missed.

Re: Oliver gildart
At least, when and if he does come back to Leigh or some other club, he'll be one of a few who didn't come back injured. Of the top of my head I can think of John Bateman, Sam Tomkins, Lee Mossop, Dan Sarginson, Joe Burgess, Denis Betts and Tommy Leului. All came back needing long term treatment. Th...

Re: Oliver gildart
Total Rugby League, today, saying that Lammy wants him at Leigh. He's not getting any game-time in down under and he probably is looking for a way back home now.

Re: Memorable Derby games
Boxing day, around the late 50's, freezing cold and sleet blowingacross the pitch. Eric Ashton kicked four penalties for an 8 to nil win. I remember that Ashton was in bed with flu and the club sent a car for him.

I didn't know that.
I always thought of him as the best second row forward Wigan have had since Bill Ashurst.

Re: Matty Peet
It will soon become apparent why Lee Briers quit after one season. He could see the 'jobs for the boys' system in action and he knew there was nothing going for him at Wigan. Both TL and SoL ought to have been shipped out to championship clubs for a couple of years. As it is, we're right back where ...
