Got told a story of a former Wigan player that when Big Kelvin Skerret was in new zeland he went to a cafe for a pre match full english breakfast and when the waiter informed him they had ran out of bacon he ranted on to the waiter for about ten minutes about how the hell can a cafe run out of bacon when there are so many sheep in the country ??

I heard that same story about Roy Haggerty. Another one I heard about Roy Hag was the week before the 1989 challenge cup final. He went up to alex murphy and asked where neil Holding was. Murphy told him that Holding had gone for a cortizone injection. roy replied ' HOW THE FU@k CAN HE AFFORD A CAR LIKE THAT?'

During a tour down under Roy Haggerty was asked by an Aussie jouro where he was from. RH replied "England". The Journo said "Yes Roy I know that, but whereabouts in England?". He replied "Top of Elephant Castle Road*".

*Name of road may be wrong.

It was "Top of Elephant Lane" Pemps.

Thanks for that Roy

I was walking up Scholes one tea time and Danny Campbell came strutting out his flat with the Challenge Cup. Now those were the days
