and then the prosecution mentioned that he's been done before for hitting women.
So... the reason he left Wigan then?

'Moron' sums him up. If, as a drunken teenager you had struck out at a girl and broke her jaw, you'd hope to God that people would have forgotten about it by the time you reached your 30s.
What does he do? Puts it in chapter bloody 2!

He as not been found guilty of this alleged attack and people should show caution as to what they are writing on here. I would urge people to use some common sense.

Former rugby league ace Sean Long is cleared of assaulting disabled mum-of-five
Former rugby league star Sean Long was “happy and relieved” after he was cleared of throttling a disabled mum-of-five.
Long, 37, was accused of storming into Pamela Twist’s home in Rainford, Merseyside, in a row over unpaid rent on his home in Wigan.
But the former Great Britain and St Helens player claimed he was working out at a gym at the time.
Sean Joyce, defending, argued Ms Twist had been motivated by vindictiveness when Long contacted the police over goods missing from his home.
District Judge Ian Lomax told St Helens court Ms Twist’s “reluctance to answer basic questions” reduced her credibility.
Clearing Long of common assault he added: “You don’t have a full alibi, but I have to give you the benefit of the doubt.”
Following the verdict, Long's manager Graeme Taylor told The Mirror: “It has been a very traumatic 18 months and Sean is happy and relieved with the District Judge’s outcome.
“He would like to get on with his life and hopes it is the end of the matter.”
