I sure did maybe be he was from down under and were a bigger club than i thought world-wide

A good point....................and the answer is?

Possibly a last minute arrangement with the club?? I dont know, but went to shop on Sat morning & saw they were there, & went in to see them, got a t/shirt signed by majority of them to raffle at F/Reds
There was a couple of coaches of their fans who had travelled over for the game watching them train aswell.

would have loved to attend that. In 1990 i think the aussie touring squad came to the school i attended in stockport. Alf langer. Mal menninga and more was brilliant.

Probably because they didn't want Wigan to find out and learn their moves/ tactics. No doubt if it was common knowledge Michael McGuire and Shaun Wane would have been there as keen observers dressed in disguises!
