Johnson above Benyon and Barrow???... :o ....

Sorry, not a chance.

Personally, always felt Barrow got a particularly poor treatment, getting dismissed after a poor few MONTHS, compared with Johnson, who, whilst he did an ok job, outlived his welcome by a year or so.






How can I miss you, if you won't go away????

The only positiver for BJ was the Wembley final (and Lancs cup, regal trophy)

Which is more than we've had since. You've also got to factor in how financially unstable the club was towards the end of Johnson's reign, with the subcequent player unrest being a big factor in his departure.

This sorry lot don't realise how good they've got it.

Brian Johnson & Billy Benyon were the only 2 coaches to come anywhere near winning the league.

Barrow should be at number 2. In his era wigan were the only full time team with everybody else part time. We were consistently challenging them in finals for lancashire cups, prienierships, john player etc and when they won romped to a league title only losing 2 games it was us who beat them home and away. Wigan apart, we were the best team in the league under barrow.

Wigan were very dominant during the later parts of the 80's but it took a Warrington player to link their team together. That player was Andy Gregory.
Other players left to go to Wigan : Case - Potter - McGinty. But it was Gregory that was missed the most.
We were left with Paul Bishop. I think if we had kept hold of Gregory we would have won alot more trophies under Johnson.

Johnno struggled in his last season but knew what was going on behind the scenes and fell on his sword. He instructed the players to play one out in our own half, but do what you like in the oppositions. Our defence under Johnno was outstanding in the couple of seasons we had Jiffy and just relied upon him to pull the creative bit out of the bag.

Never forget that game against Sheffield at home in the last game of the season. Wire top of the league.

And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
