Stuart Maconie

Post by Neil In Wigan »

I'm currently reading his biography, "Cider With Roadies" and there are two blinding passages in it, which I thought I'd share


"What is Wigan truly famous for? Rugby for one. Even though our utter, unquestioned dominance in the sport has ended, all Wiganers secretly believe that we are really just indulgently letting the other teams win for a while in order to make it more interesting."

and (talking about the onset of Punk)

"We had to stick together. And we did. we stuck together in the Bier Keller on King Street, Wigan's most violent thoroughfare. In later years, my job has taken me to some hairy locales. But though I have walked, quite quickly it must be said, through the valley of the shadow of death, I have feared no evil; chiefly because I have walked down King Street at 2am on a Friday night and that really is scary."


So, when some people have asked about famous Wiganers, there's another one (he's a DJ and music journalist for those who don't know), with on one side a love of our club, and on the other the knowledge of what we all know. That King Street on weekend nights isn't for the faint hearted. :lol:

He cant remember much as he was only 3!
