Quote: the flying biscuit "I never enjoyed playing as much from that moment on.

A top top bloke can't really say any more at the moment.'"


I agree 100% with that, Mike was the kind of person that anyone would warm too.

His knowledge of the game was incredible, i remember being star struck when Mike first came down to training as i knew he was part of the Warrington side that beat the Australian tourists, within a few minutes of us meeting him the nerves had gone and i felt totally relaxed, Mike made everyone feel as though you had known him for ages, that was down to him being so down to earth and such a friendly and approachable person.

Bick, remember the first time that Mike brought the Ghetto blaster blaster down to training, with us not knowing what it was for i thought we was in for some kind of saturday night fever dance routine on broomfields that aided rugby players with their fitness lol .....I remember asking him has he got any U2 or Bon Jovi, he just smiled as he knew what we was in for with the bleep test but we obviously didn`t lol .......

Mike brought the best out of people, he had a talent for that. As fans we all like to think that we know a fair bit about rugby league, you realise how little you know until you have had the pleasure of meeting someone like Mike Kelly.

Quote: Rob Wire "This is very sad news to hear, Mike Kelly was one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet. He coached us at Laportes for a couple of seasons, both Mike and Peter made playing and training really enjoyable, well apart from the bleep test which you introduced us too Mike lol. Thats how good a coach Mike was, he introduced us to modern methods as the bleep test was a new thing back then, he improved all our fitness levels which made us enjoy the game a lot more.

My thoughts go out to Mike and to all of his family and friends.

RIP Mike'"



Sad loss for the warrington rugby league family.

R.I.P

How old are you Rob?

One of only a few to have his own brick on the Bevan wall. "Mike Kelly Wire Flyer". Sorry to see you go pal. I missed you for many weeks at St Stephen's mass. Only asked about you 2 or 3 weeks ago. God Bless.

It could have been too much emotionally for Mike`s family to deal with at the moment, remember he only passed away on thursday so they will still be grieving.

I`m sure the club will pay their respects at the right time as well as the fans being given the chance to say thanks to Mike.
