That is Tony clubs best moment for me, not saying he hasn't had others but completely removing saints go forward and sealing the game.Wiganer Ted wrote: βFri Jul 09, 2021 11:59 am And he was short of the line. I prefer to remember Clubby for those tackles he made in one set against Saints where they were tackled on the sixth and we scored from our next set.
Bet they'll miss him from training with his cockney accent. I know KPP has one but it isn't as broad as Clubbys.
He's that broad he makes Danny Dyer sound posh!

I think there is truth in this, as no-one is seemingly above a mouthful online nowadays.morley pie eater wrote: βThu Jul 08, 2021 4:49 pm I'm just glad the internet wasn't around in the days of John Barton, Brian Case, Andy Coley and others who contributed massively to the team in their day without being world beaters.

Anyway, one of my all-time favourite memories watching Wigan was a couple of years ago at Headingley.
My son, who works in Leeds, managed to get 2 tickets for the newly-opened stand shared with the cricket ground.
Seconds from the end of a close game, Leeds messed up a kick, and the ball somehow dropped into Clubby's hands about 5 yards from the try line with no-one that close to him. He seemed to take a few seconds to assess the situation, lumbered off and scored to win the game!
I stood up and gave a long, loud YEEEEESSSSS!!!! Then realised that everything was silent around me.
Priceless!

Yes, I corrected it after I'd seen the video. We were in the shared cricket ground stand around the 20 or 30 metre line, so 70-odd metres away....but that's just an excuse for an owd mon's poor memory for detail!jao711 wrote: βFri Jul 09, 2021 8:53 pmThat 5yds was more like 25yds.I was at that corner.morley pie eater wrote: βThu Jul 08, 2021 9:59 pm

It never ceases to amaze me that whatever I say, and however much I try to qualify it, someone is sure to argue with a point I never made.
