I am now officially an old fart, I have a mobility scooter.My legs are strong enough but due to a labyrinthectomy my balance has deteriorated. I can still take steps UP two at a time but coming down I become "frozen" if there is no handrail. Next season looks promising with a practically new team and if the coach can get them playing Castleford type football I may start watching again. I haven't made enquiries about letting me in with my scooter(it's a big one) but in these non-discriminatory days I hope there isn't a problem. Seeing as you enjoy my anecdotes here's another. In my working life I was a truck driver and was sent to Greenalls Brewery to pick up a pallet of beer. Having never been in there before I was at a loss as to where to go and I must have been looking puzzled. A large chap in a white coat jumped from the loading bay and asked me where I was going. He put his arm round my shoulder and showed me where to go.It was none other than the late Laurie Gilfedder. I told him I thought he was brilliant in his Wilderspool days, the highlight being at Wembley in the Cup Final vsHunslet when he scored a brilliant individual try bursting through from halfway to score in the corner. I even told him that I forgave him for signing for Wigan. I must have sounded to him like a 12 yearold girl talking to Gary Barlow
I know we have gone slightly 'off topic' a bit here but were you the Wolfie with the Chicken? Always made me smile and your reactions to the failed attempts were great ..... if it was you that is
