I do that in Warrington. Tougher on match days.

Me and my mate were walking down the beach in Malaga a couple of years ago, wearing our wire shirt, when an old bloke, obviously from Cumbria/Yorkshire way was squinting and paying attention to our club badge on the jersey……..to which his wife “said who is it?”… “the wolves??” he said to us…………to which we replied…….”NO – we’re the Wires !!!”

Almost a pointless story – but what made the scene complete was when he did that thing that old fella’s do……..where they tilt there head to one side, towards you – then nod there heads slightly, in recognition…..and then come out with “good lads” !!!!! haha

Monkeyman does it in curry houses.

Just got back from Tenerife yesterday. There is a bar (Bull Tavern) in Los Americas with a bloke called Mel who used to live in Longford who owns it.

Has about 6-7 signed shirts around the bar.

I will no dignify that comment with a response.

Bugger, I just did.

Theres more than a few Wire tops scattered across North Wales. I've seen them in Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno etc...

Walking through Boston U.S.A!

I had my Wigan Top on and I hear a voice Shouting from approx 50 yards away!

Oi! What you doing with that on!

Turn Round and there's a lad with a Wire Top on Working on a Baseball Cap Stall !

Got talking, went out that night (With another lad from Oz!) got Ratted, Peed all over the front of the entrance to Harvard shouting "See How many O'Levels it takes to clean that up in the Morning!" and went on to become Great Friends with him.

He was originally from Warrington (Mum & Dad Still live over here) and it turned out he owned the Stall and had lived in Boston for about 6/7 years.
This was 94 and he came over to England for the World Cup in 95 and we went to a few games together.

We last touch around 2000, If anyone knows him his name is Jim Savage and you regularly see letters from him in the League Express etc.
If anyone does know him etc would be nice to get in touch again as I lost his address & Phone Number.

You can take the lads out of Warrington but you can't ...etc.

Almost?

North Wales should be renamed 'Little Warrington', I've always thought.
I've never failed to see someone from Warrington, either in a jersey or that I recognised from the town, on my many, many jaunts there.

I was watching one of those crappy SkyHolidays shows t'other week and they were in Portugal, I think, on a beach and they did that thing where they shove a camera into the faces of the tourists and demand their opinions on the place. One bloke they asked was wearing the '95 centenary shirt.
Scruffy Swear Filter, I thought, as that top must've be 13 years old at the time.

Irish Village in Dubai.

Also a bloke in a wakey top

I was on holiday in Riverside (Wales), and it was the day before the last game of the 08 seaon against Huddersfield, can't remember why but we popped into Morrisons petral station for something and I was stood in the que and out the blue comes two Wire shirts (: Haha, they were travelling back that day to watch the game the day after, where as I has suck there for another 3 or 4 days with no signal on my phone and no reseption on the radio. Haha
