As a kid Paul would have been the closest thing we had. Especially with his white boots

Paul is a very good shout, comparable with Bevan as they both could do the ordinary stuff well and then do something off the cuff. In terms of crowd pleasers, surely Henderson Gill is on the list as he always got the crowd on their feet when he got the ball?

Billy Boston would be on my list of Wigan greats and probably the top of the pile too!

Just randomly watching us v Leigh on 5 July this year, Leigh have just scored to make it 8-6 and have kicked the ball to Bevan who returns the ball, almost breaking through and earning a penalty (56:13 played).
On 4th tackle he puts in a good pass to Wardle who puts Marshall in at the corner (57:24). On the next set he on tackle 3 he receives ball on half way, jinks through then kicks into space and scores (60:16 played). All done with a smile on his face. A special talent that spoils us with so much brilliance we can take it for granted. Top 3 for sure.

Bevan French is now my all time favourite player overtaking the legend that is Hanley . ( Ellery not Umyla )

He’s level with Sean O’Loughlin in my eyes maybe sneaking a little pass Sol 😂
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

I never thought I would see a better stand off than Brett Kenny. However Bevan has proved he is brilliant wherever he plays ie. stand off, full back and winger. He has the edge for me . Overall the greatest ever Wigan player must be Billy B

Would take something extraordinary to dislodge Jim Sullivan
