Re: Glyn Shaw
Sad to hear. He was part of the start of our revival. RIP. Tough tough man.
Re: Glyn Shaw
Sad, sad news.
Nails call each other as 'hard as Glyn Shaw' if they're particularly tough....
He was a good skilful player as well as being an enforcer. Had a good pair of hands and was great at using his height to get the ball out of the tackle.
Losing him so soon after Danny Campbell makes me feel old....
RIP another great player

In Memoriam: Glyn Shaw
Wigan Warriors are saddened to hear of the passing of former player Glyn Shaw at the age of 71.
Shaw played 63 games and scored two tries for Wigan as a prop forward between 1981 and 1984.
The Wales and Great Britain international signed from Widnes to join Wigan, he also played for Warrington and Rochdale during his career.
Gaining Heritage Number 778, Shaw made his debut for Wigan in November 1981 when Wigan beat Fulham 15-14. He featured for Wigan in the John Player Cup Final in January 1983 – Wigan’s first trophy in nine years at the time after a 15-4 win over Leeds at Elland Road.
Everyone at the Club sends their deepest condolences to Glyn’s family and friends at this very sad time.

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

Re: Glyn Shaw
I vaguely remember when he broke his leg, but was always with the team, and stood on the touchline during games. Any doubts that he moved from Widnes late in his career just for the money were gone.
He was a part of us rebuilding a proper team after the horrors of the 70s, along with the likes of George Fairbairn, Hendy, and others. A class act and tough as teak.
