Had a call today to say that Frank Tobin has died.

He joined the club as a trainer in the late 1940s and later became the physio, finally retiring in 1984. He was a life member of the club.

A great servant to the club and a lovely, lovely man.

RIP

This is why events unnerve me.

RIP.

A true servant of the club and town in every sense of the word. A sad loss to the club and the town.

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.

I thought it was Widnes?

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]

RIP Frank

Condolences to his family

On thread drift:

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!
Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

Legend and gentleman. Lets hope the club do something fitting.

RIP fella

an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!
