[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



"All credit to the lad" as Ray would say.

I'm stubborn, yes, because I know I'm right on this occasion.

Quote: jaybs "I was involved with the situation were Ray French Threatened Boy's who played Under 16 Rugby League, they would be Banned from playing for the school, I did not read it like you seem to do and know think you know everything, so Mr French at that time was Completely Two Faced! and that is Fact and Truth!'"

I would suggest you be careful what you say. You are besmerching a person's character by your accusations.

Banned from playing what for the school? Union? Strengthens his case for a "services to RUGBY LEAGUE" award IMO icon_wink.gif

Anyway, there's a difference between "threatening" schoolchildren, and informing them of a school's policy (which he may not have had anything to do with devising or implementing, particularly given what SaintsFan has pointed out about his court case)).

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Quote: FearTheVee "Banned from playing what for the school? Union? Strengthens his case for a "services to RUGBY LEAGUE" award IMO '"


NO! at that time Cowley only played UNION! and Mr French would not allow boys to play RUGBY LEAGUE, if they did they were Threatened they would not be selected for the school, yes it did frighten some boys, but others played on for us, West Park which was as strong playing Union never had such anti freedom of choice rules, players like Andy Platt played for the team I ran!

So this strengthens his case for Services to Rugby League?? What a Joker! - Wake Up and smell the coffee will you, so many just close their eyes to Truth and Fact!

As I just said to the previous poster for some reason you just choose to close you eyes to The Truth, how do you know you are right when this was a dispute between myself a colleague, the boys involved and Mr French? were you privy at the time to our discussions and heated debates? please tell Mr Know it All!

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



It would have been impossible for Saints Fan to be Cowley at that time. icon_wink.gif

Saints Fan seems to want to call me a "Liar" which is libel, I spent all of my career so so first at The St Helens Reporter Group and then many more years at Radio City and I have never told lies!

I am not bitter against Mr French, as I have said from the start The Honours System should be more about people who do good works voluntarily and no financing gain of any kind, also those that are Heroes! and they are not TV, Soap Stars or Sports peoplel but ones who make great sacrifices in life.

So I have been told by Many People through private messages! and more about you! you do not mention the serious accusation you make of me being a "liar" then?? which is libel! be it Ms or Mr Know it all in your case Ms!

Propogandas, how do you provide proof of conversations please? I know and I am trained in media be it internet and legal precedents, the fact is Under 16 schoolboy's at Cowley at that time wanted to play rugby league, they should have been allowed the freedom to make that choice and their parents! not be told they Would not play for the school if they did, as I pointed out staff at that time at West Park were even more close to Union but never once objected and we even assisted them when possible, ie again Andy Platt played for us with about 4 other players from West Park because it was the game of the town they were born and brought up in!

We have had the debate, I have expressed my personal opinions! which sadly some people have called me a "Liar" perhaps it is best to lock the thread!
