OK, My bad

Wonder which dodgy online establishment sold that to you?

I have visions of some guy locked in a shed or garage by his son with only a printing machine for company.

Anyone know how the conversation went when John Major was being shown round the changing rooms at Wembley and was greeted by Billy McGinty wearing only a strategically placed pineapple ring?

The same Maurice Lindsay who then said upon joining the board of that thriving little club

"I'm delighted that we are strengthening ties between both great clubs. We are gaining recognition around the world as a true sporting town and this fusing further underlines that claim, to be asked to join the Wigan Athletic board is an honour."

I wonder whether this was due to Wigan RL being pretty in 2006 whilst Wigan Athletic were becoming well known all over the World as a Premier League club?

From memory it went something like

BM bursts into camera

"Pineapple John" - BM pointing to the offending item

"That's the last time I eat pineapple" - JM

Brian Carney's classic line live on sky after a Leeds play off game (I think)

"Bill, I'm as happy as rabbit with two cocks"

"They can't run without their heads" - Dean Bell

Not really a quote as such, but a motivational statement from Martin Offiah to the 2010 Wigan Grand Final team was fantastic. Even as a Saints fan I was applauding that when I saw it after the game. I've got the picture somewhere at home, I'm pretty sure someone on here has it in their sig aswell.

Dave Whelan, Radio 5 live....."In Wigan, rugby will always be king"

Cant remember the game , but it was in Australia , the ref pulled Terry o Conner over , and asked him "Are you 17 ", to which Terry replied , "No sir im 28 ",



.

"You can't have a team of Wigan legends, there are too many of them."

"You can't have a team of Saints legends, there aren't enough of them"

its the year of the wolves

A story I heard from one of his team mates about Roy Haggerty when on tour down under.....
Having a meal in the hotel...
RH to Waitress (Jokingly)
"Don't you have any Pot Noodles?"
Waitress "Sorry, Sir, but we don't"
RH "What sort of hotel is this? We can get Pot noodles no problem back home"
Waitress "Where's 'home'?"
RH "Englund"
Waitress (Jokingly) "I know you're from England, you pommie ba***rd. Where abouts in England?"
RH (seriously) "Elifunt Lane"

An owd Wigan Supporter complete with Flat cap and White silk scarf staggers into Euston Station after the Wigan v Hull (1960)final very much the worse for wear.

He goes up to this very large bobby and says " con you tell me time of the last train to Daisy Hill",

"I'm as cross as a cross man in a cross shop" (Brian Noble).

Quite a few years ago ( Maybe 15 to 20 years) the Rugby Union World Cup was being held in Europe with games being played in England, Scotland, Ireland , Wales and France. A television crew was travelling between the countries to different games making a documentary as they went along. As the TV crew were travelling from France up to Scotland one of the crew suggested calling in at Barrow RLFC on the Friday night as he had heard that Barrow had a " good little social club on the ground". So they called in and recorded some of the night. At one point the interviewer spoke to an old bloke with his flat cap on and a pint of flat rib in his hand and asked him " What do you think of Rugby Union then"? The old bloke replied " It's the only game I know where the crowd handle the ball more than the players" Classic!

1985 Challenge Cup Final after Brett Kenny scored his wonder try, Alex, who commented that Kenny had his hands in his pockets before kick off, came out with this spluttering classic"I wish Hull,I bet wish Hull, I bet Hull wish he had his hands in his pockets now"

Another one from Terry O'Connor after he'd taken a couple of good uns from Gordon Tallis and was asked if he'd been hurt. "No, the wife hits me harder than that".

I dont remember that game, 1960, try 1959

No wonder that owd chap on Euston Station was confused. Cheers.

I know how he feels

A great myth that one, that was never said!

What was the Kevin Brown giraffe line?
