I don't if it's been mentioned on here but Shaun O'Brian died on May 31st he was a very good prop and what is more a very nice person

Made his debut on 16th January 1965, 75 appearances with 5 as substitute scoring 8 tries.
Before my time but always sad when a player dies and sadder when due to general recognistion in terms of popularity/when the team was doing well they are overlooked.

I believe Shaun made his debut at prop as a 16 year old which was some going in those days. He was playing in an era when the opposition were quite prepared to dish it with a very good chance of not being punished for foul play.

A bit like Wigan in any era then......

Really shocked to hear this. Shaun was one of my coaches when I was a lad and he was a great bloke. RIP and best wishes to the family

A great personality, quick witted and a friend of ours for many years, going to be greatly missed. God bless

Brought up near Shaun,as was Tony Duke and Chris Davidson.A nice person who always had time to talk. Not seen him for a few years so don't know where he lived.RIP Shaun

Funeral at large chapel crem, Friday 16th June 1:30 and afterwards at the Haven Arms Hedon
