I remember playing snooker with him and his brother at Potters in Standish when I was a young teenager, a very welcoming and funny person

Absolutely devastating news. For many people of my age, Inga was an absolute idol of the game.

So many good and fond memories of the big man.

My wife and kids named our springer spaniel after him Inga the springer.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Really sad news. A special player and true Wigan legend. R. I. P.






Quote from Graham Lowe - "I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a tripple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union ......... but I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league!"

Absolutely gutted. One of my true heroes.

Just told my wife and she welled up.

What a sad sad day.

In full flight he was unstoppable. A man no matter who you support you wished played for your team, and a man everyone knew to be a truly decent, genuine and lovely human being. As Jason says, Inga changed his life completely.

Condolences to his friends and family, what a man.

RIP

Absolutely terrible news. This knocked me back a bit when I read it.
A true legend of the game.
get him in that Hall of Fame ASAP. It would be a fitting tribute and definitely deserved.
His impact on the Club and game in general as a player and more importantly a human being has been immense.






Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness.
