Speaking to Wigan Today ahead of the performance, Paul, whose Grandfathers were both big Wigan fans said;

“I was brought up with them all loving Wigan Rugby. It feels a real big honour and privilege.

“I think they would be really proud. It’s really emotional.”

He said: “The lyrics are very appropriate for Wigan Warriors. It says we will battle through and we are Warriors.”
