Just another thing, is Paul Rauh still living in Warrington? He always struck me as someone who settled in to life in the town quite well. Didn't his son play for one of the service area teams as well?

I can't see the pics as don't show in work. But I bet Wire fanatic is on most of them. I remember loads of bikes pulling up and loads of chanting.

I remember a fat bloke falling down a hill and hurting his leg.

Never really noticed before, but...

Fantastic weekend ..... one I will never forget!

COME ON YOU WIRE!!!!

how fat are his fingers?

no offence.

Doing the Haka of all things!!
Some great shots there fatbelly i remember the sports bar Le Souce think it was called Friday night unbelivable scenes in fact didnt the local garda come down in numbers cos that had nt witnessed anything like that before,just loads of Fans having a drink and a good sing song!!

Think a couple of Rugby balls were getting pinged around as well,a truly memroable weekend even had the pleasure of sitting next to Rob Parker on the flight out there as well.

All together There was 10 German Bombers in the air!!

What a great weekend that was. Based in Canet and that place was rocking. Friday night in Le Wembley watching the goons get beat. Saturday coaches laid on to take us to the ground and everyone was packed and a cascade of noise. Game was great those wonderful girls who delivered beer to your seats.

Then back to Canet to the Catalans fan party with the dragon players.

Sunday was a bit of pain as the coach failed to pick us all up on time and we missed the flight so had to stay in France for a few more hours.

If you are refering to KTB,he's a mate of mine who actually hurt his leg in 2007,not 2006. I can still recall the french paramedic now "Mesuir,a piece of your bone is missing!" At which point beefy picked the piece of bone up off the canal bank and passed it to him,only for the paramedic to turn away in horror! A classic moment from beefy. Also nal al saying to us "keith won't be going to the game now,ask him if I can have his match ticket!"

How times have changed; I hate cameras now.

'06 was the best Perpignan trip so far, bar none.

The only time I've been to Perpignan, great weekend getting drunk on desperados from the off licenses years before it arrived on our shores haha

Alright Keith. Kept it hidden quite well for a while.

You need to get some therapy.

I put someone right on the year KTB hurt his leg and I need therapy? Jesus wept........................

Is this the same buffoon who received medical treatment from the French only to state that he is going to sue them for supposedly botching the job up?

And also whilst bladdered!

Does anyone else on here not believe that the only person who would talk like that is the same person who is in fact, mentioned within that very post. You are one and the same.

You need to look up the word SOCIOPATH on google. And indeed, SCHIZOPHRENIC.

Perp2006 was a magical trip. Until 30th Dec 2005, I wasn't even going even though my friends had booked flights and hotel accommodation. I opened up a present on my birthday and discovered a flight booking and hotel booking - quelle surprise !!

My stunning wife had contacted my mates, got the flight and hotel info and booked me on the same trip !!

Still chuckle about the whole 4 days to this day - le petit bus, ou est le singe, Wire Womans Magic, Cappy, making the French Sunday paper, Silverwood in Wires baseball cap, Simon Moran and on and on and on


I booked myself for 2007, ruptured my achilles, couldn't go and lost my air fare - cheers Ryan Air !!

I have a copy of that paper somewhere with me and my mates on it....fantastic memories!

You are Tyler Duerden and I claim my £5.

Perpigan 06 was fantastic. Me and the wife flew to Toulouse and then got the train from there. Managed to get here to believe that Tolouse was the canine capital of Europe as an explanation as to why there were lots mooching about. Decent game too if I recall.

Cheers fat belly. Not seen that photo of us lot (wirewomen, Tim Brown, Myself, our Dave and Mike Mason ) stood on the pitch for years, yet it seemed only yesterday. Great photo and now it,s on my facebook.

his son went to my school and played rugby there im not sure about outside but i think he played union at school and league outside

Was 2006 the year of the Irish Bar post match celebrations with the players? There are some good photos knocking about from that night.

It was indeed. That was a tremendous night. Ben Westwood stole my mobile phone and was pretending to be me by sending naughty text messages to a girl I was seeing at the time.
