He's up there as one of the all time Saints legends for me.
Experienced the very good times, part of the greatest Saints side I've seen (2006), winning everything the game has to offer, played through the bad times including the 5 in a row, through the transitional period, then leading Saints to another GF last season.
Man of Steel winner, Harry Sunderland winner and 2 time Lance Todd Trophy winner. Not Many can say that.
If KC has his own statut built, then surely it's just a matter of time before Wellens has his own.

Hard to dislike Wellens - he has that everyman appeal in that he's neither big nor quick, but he's tough as nails and plays like he really cares, and has been successful off the back of it; he deserves nothing but respect for a great career.

Wow, hadn't heard this. You could never doubt the mans passion for his team. 100% every single game. Shame that he had such bad eyesight because every single try scored against him seemed to have some foul play leading up to it according to him His ability to break the first tackle was ridiculously high, as soon as he caught that ball you knew he was making 5 metres more than he should have been allowed because he just had that knack of skirting out of a tackle. Gave everything and more, won everything and more, legend of the game indeed.
