I might not recognise you one day, Panties, with all these name changes.

Phil Chadwick used to work on the bins as well, maybe he still has a few contacts that could put in a good word for Matt King as Matt has a talent thats being wasted in rugby league.
He was a conditioner with the club for a long time, worked as a bin man for Warrington council and was a legendary character with the players. There are some stories about him in Mike Gregorys book.
He used to do early morning training sessions when the players were part time and he had found a spot of land which he used to take training, he heard that somebody had it earmarked for a building project so he started collecting newts from nearby ponds to put on his land because if newts started breeding on his bit of land then nobody could build on it because they were a protected species.
Then when Warrington played Cronulla Sharks in the World Club Championship in 1997, Chadders rubbed grease all over the ball they used for kick off, so when they booted it to Andrew Ettingshausen it slipped out of his hands and we got the scrum in an attacking position.
He looks a bit like Steve Coogan's character Paul Calf and is obviously a bit of a joker who was popular with the players but Scully pointed out in his book that he was also incredibly fit and none of the players could beat him at pull ups or dips.

I am sure its the same guy who i used to train with at Lockers football team. If so he used to go on the warm up run prior to training with a ruck sack of sand on his back and still beat everyone back!!!!

From what has been said I believe that he is some kind of conditioner or personal trainer.
Can anyone tell me exactly who this guy is, where he comes from, whether he has worked with the wolves/wire before and what he is doing now?
Many thanks.
Thought you was a long term Wire fan?
