In that season, most of the squad was bad, not just the odd one or two in different seasons.

George Fairbairn being a outstanding exception!

not bad judgement that Whelley - we where dire then

Oliver Wilkes.. I've seen him play many times and he was a winner and his very short time with us he scored. A decent player in my opinion

I felt sorry for jimmy, he was on a hiding to nothing. Wasn't a full back in the country who could have fill George Fairburns boots!

1. Doc Murray

3. Paul Kolio
4. Stockley
5. Siviori
6. Florimo
7. Moran
8. McDonald

10. Harvey Howard

14. Birts
15. Burger
16. Scott Logan
17. Jordan James
I don't agree with Jordan James being on the list. To say he has been one of our worst 17 players isn't true in my thoughts. His workrate and attitude alone keeps him out of any worst rate players for me.

Stand by Gill dudson-clueless and a liability-nowhere near standard Wigan should have
