Big Mal doesnt make it due to the 3/4 of a season he played compared to the other 2 centres plus other greats like Loughlin, Groves, hunte, Ropati, Mann Pinner, Arkwright, Ledger

HOWEVER what about a worst Saints 13?

Connolly was better than Newlove also, I did like Loughlin and Ropati also

If you wanna get technical Connolly was a right centre for Saints not a left one and whilst in a Saints shirt was never at the same level of Newlove. Even when Connolly was at his peak I would say he would compliment Newlove rather than replace him.

Watching since 1966 and would have to say that the following must get a mention:
Jonny Walsh
George Nicholls
Gary Connolly as a full back over Wellens
Andy Platt


for the worst team - anybody remember John Wills / Sean Day / Bobby Wanbon?

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:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

My all time favourite Saints player.
Pure class, and a sad loss to the game when he retired early.

Another favourite of mine was Frank Wilson. Top man, he used to come and have a game of football with us on Banks park in Billinge, lovely man, and took all our "Wigan stick" the way it was meant.

What about Kenny Gill.
Did he play for Saints before he went to Salford?

Great ball playing half back.
