Watched the Bradford replay a few days ago and the sky cameras panned in on Maurice (well the top half of his face). Had to say that he looked pretty frail which left me a little shocked to be honest.
We're all aware he was pretty ill towards the end of his reign, anyone know how he is faring these days. Hope the owd fella is doing okay, we all know he bleeds cherry and white at the end of the day!!

i don't know too much, but he was talking to a family member of mine and the only thing he was going to the hospital about was his knee's apparently had to have ops on his knees, like most older people and there joints. I don't know about ill health.
but he did look a little frail, mind you how old is he these days?
Stevo on a Craig Smith intersept, "that was like throwing tomato seeds out of a moving train window and coming back a year later and tomatoes have grown!"
Eddies reaction, "I don't know what he's been taking but i wants some"
Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, says he has failed to be gripped by England's rugby union World Cup bid.
"I've not seen it," said the England striker. "I've been watching the rugby league."
Not sure how is health is but i wish him all the best for sure. He's a Wiganer through and through and even though he did more harm then good in his last spell here he always did things what he thought were right for his club.

Watching Latics would have a bad effect on him. I got free tickets for the matches against Fulham and West Ham and I won't go again...not even for free. It was boring and watching players cheat and feign injury infuriated me.

last game i went to was vs bournemouth maybe 10 years ago. it ended 0-0 and i only remember 2 things about the game.
1- the pitch looked like a beach
2- you could here people on the other side of the stadium having conversations

I hardly recognised him, he's aged loads since he left the club
23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
