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

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...

Hey Meds,

Get onto BBC GMR Sport, Full commentary. Pearce Paul just gone in for a try

Good entertainment in't Riverside, especially after a home win.
He'll be sadly missed.
(I seem to recall that Neil Cowie is his son in law).

Betts isn’t there anymore

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

Send him up to Newcastle. Dennis Betts could turn him into a replacement second row. He'll probably wind up there anyway.

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 ...
