| Does anyone know if any recent or past players are planning to release a book of their careers. I would love to read a book by Faz and Lockers as they have been there through some good times.

| Bit off topic but along the lines of - They opened a new public library near me in Kitt Green last Easter, in the new Abraham Guest School, and I've had Rads, Sean Long's, Martin Offiah's autobiographies and a rather old book about Billy Boston out of there in the ensuing months already. As well as some football autobiographies from proper old footballers like Tommy Smith and Jimmy Greaves (I'm not even that old but still a good read on my dads advice). The Boston book was so old it was refering to "coloureds" - a long since dated term of description.
Well worth a trip if your local to. I was never a big reader but now I've a library close by I'm up there often.

| The Dean Bell autobiography is a cracker. 'Ultimate Warrior'. Also, not a biog but still awesome is Blood, Mud and Glory from 1991 - 'The author was given total access to Wigan Rugby League Club and went behind the scenes, into the dressing room, offices and boardroom, talking to players, coaches, officials, groundstaff and fans to reveal the tensions, the teamwork, the disappointments and the triumphs'.

| Longy's book is great fun. Should be made into a Carry On film.
Andrew Johns' is the best informative read.
Keith Senior is bringing one out soon.

I've just borrowed the rads book from the new abraham guest library,was wondering why the photograph section of the book was all stuck together.

Local boy?
Born in Bradford, raised in Blackburn.
Of the many things he is, "a local boy" is one thing he isn't.

| So lets see if I have this right, big Dave's spends his first couple of days of life in Bradford so that makes him a Yorkshireman? So every Wiganer born in Billenge hospital is a scouser!...............If a child is born mid Atlantic at 36,000ft will that make him a spaceman?
