[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

Around about 1992, he was doing a charity walk and passed through Wigan.
He and his team called into the local ASDA and got some supplies; socks, plasters, sandwiches, drinks. When he was stopped from leaving and asked to pay he came out with the classic 'Don't you know who I am?'
My mum and the other ASDA workers present replied with all honesty 'No, should we?'
One of my mum's workmates thought he might be area manager or something like that He, and to be fair a few of his team, argued that they shouldn't have to pay. Eventually someone wrote out a cheque and they went on their way. Wonder if that made it into his autobiography

Not sure if anyone is in the Liverpool area, but if you havent already been advised, Cunards Queen Mary 2 has been docked since 1230 today and will depart to a £1M firework display at 2250 tonight.
I disembarked this afternoon in Liverpool after a 3 night Cruise on Queen Mary from Edinburgh. Truely an iconic ship.
Few pictures i took when embarking in South Queensferry on Saturday:
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
