Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

What a brilliant evening.

Was great to see Michael Maguire again (and he remembered me!!😂) when I asked for a photo. He said he had the best times here at Wigan & loved every minute he was here.

Kris Radlinski revealed last night that the RFL had granted Tommy a Testimonial & all the proceeds from last evenings event went back to the club.

Don’t know why nothing has been announced prior to this & don’t know if there are any other events being held.

Also that his father is seriously ill back home in NZ. Wishing James a speedy recovery.

Yes best wishes to him.

I remember his try late on in the 1985 CC final, and the classy way that he interviewed after the match.
