| A few years ago I was walking along Sankey Street and on the other side of the road were 4 or 5 Wire players...Immaculate track suits, sunbed shop tans obviously thinking they were the dog's gonads...A couple of minutes afterwards a young man in jeans and sweater accompanied by a female walked past me. I thought he looked vaguely familiar and then I realised it was Lee Briers, pasty faced and not particularly smart. Looking at him you'd never dream he was top RL player in contrast to the posers I saw a few minutes previously...Thanks for all the entertainment over the years Lee and best wishes for the future.

| Quote: St pete " Lee Briers IMO is the last of a dying breed of halfbacks. He's was old school, very clever and cheeky.
Totally agree. Superb player with vision and a real rugby brain. Also, a real larrakin who could have you bent double with laughter.
I remember when him and Nat Wood tried to outdo eachother. (if memory serves....) Briers ran into the crowd after scoring a try, sat down and applauded himself. Wood responded by running down the tunnel after a try and reappearing up the tunnel at the opposite side of the ground....top class .
A great player and character. Gonna be tough for you guys to replace!

| One of the last genuine halves. Rhythm and tempo play a big role in games, and very few can control that. Lee was one who could. Always looked like he had time and room. Fantastic player, servant and ambassador for Warrington and Wales alike. I'm sure he will continue to provide entertainment for the game as a coach.

| A true great of our club, such a shame he couldn't finish on his own terms.
