Tyler Offiah.
Interesting article in today's Daily Telegraph about this teenage son of Martin. Among the numerous clubs he has turned down offers from before signing for Gloucester it names Wigan.

Regarder une fille en bikini, c'est comme avoir un revolver chargé sur sa table:
Il n'y a rien de mal a ça mais il est difficile de penser à autre chose.
Now Europe is just for holidays.

Re: Tyler Offiah.
WARRIORSMartin Offiah’s son snubs Wigan Warriors to sign three-year deal elsewhere
Tyler Offiah, son of Great Britain legend Martin Offiah, has reportedly turned down a move to Wigan Warriors, instead signing for a Premiership rugby union side.
Martin played 159 games for Wigan Warriors, scoring a remarkable 186 tries in that time, and also spent time at Widnes, London Broncos and Salford City Reds, as they were then known.
During his time with Wigan, he won five league titles, four Challenge Cups and the World Club Challenge, after signing for a then-world-record fee
For Great Britain, he played 33 games, scoring 26 tries.
His likeness is part of the Rugby League Monument at Wembley Stadium, and was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2013.
He’s undoubtedly a rugby league great, but it seems that his son will instead go down the path of rugby union.
According to The Telegraph, Tyler rejected Wigan Warriors, as well as union sides Leicester, Gloucester and Sale, to sign for Bath Rugby on a three-year deal.

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
