Quote: antwigan " Written by an educated man so some may struggle here. I think it formed a thesis.

Or the tail about the legend Gary Connolly.....'"


The irony. A 'tail' is something a dog wags. You mean 'tale'. Back to school.

Quote: Damo-Leeds "

3.Don't Die With The Music In You

Wayne Bennett is an absolute legend of our game no matter how much that pains me to say. This is another book that I haven’t read and hope to get round to one day as I believe its probably as good as any philosophic book in the world.

'"


Jack Gibson's book is much better, the original and the best.

Cec Thompson's 'Born on the Wrong Side' is one of the most inspiring books you'll ever read.

Longy's book was a cracker IMO. Didn't rate Scully's or Jamie Peacock's to be fair. A few books i have read and liked, or are on the list for this year are:
Mike Greg
Tawera Nikau
Barrie Mac
Andrew Johns
Iestyn Harris (even though i can't stand the guy, Judas!)

Longys books is one of the best that I have ever read IMO, proper goes into depth about his life and past. Really enjoyed that.

I also have heard good reviews at Danny Buderus's.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

Is it good because he just gives you all the gossip or is it actually an interesting read? Well written? I havn't read it by the way.
