| Quote: The All New Chester Wire "Maybe the most important thing Chris Bridge did for us was kick the equalising goal in the 2009 Challenge Cup QF at Hull KR to take it into extra time. Touchline with the home crowd behind him. I was in line with the kick and it was like an arrow, but in his usual no fuss chip kick style. What a day.'"
Spot on Chessy Boy. The rest (Semi against the Pies & the Final itself) is Warrington folklore history

| Bridgey has served us well over the years and we have well got our money's worth for the £30,000 we paid Bradford for him in 2005.
Never think any of our lads should ever sign for Widnes though!!!

| If rather it be Widnes than early rumours of Pies.
I hate all things pies and saints.

I kind of agree although it's hardly United/Liverpool and recent deals does reinforce the natural order of things.
Overall Bridge has been great for us

| I thought it was nearer £20k but what's 10 between friends?!
His fee was unbelievably low and Nobby rated him so highly but Bulls had just about had enough of his off field issues.
The same issues we allegedly faced 2 or 3 times later.

| Yes, Bridge has had some off the field problems since his move but he seems settled with his family now. Last big push for the league in Super 8's before he goes into mediocrity with them next season.

| My favourite memory was when he returned to Bradford with us for ,i think, his first game against Bradford for the Wire....Nat Wood & Lee Briers both injured during the match & Bridgey & John Clarke destroyed Bradford.

| A decent player for us who gave his all.. I cant help but think he could have been so much more though.... Injuries obviously played a part.
Strong runner, quick, great hands, solid defence, brilliant step, great eye for a gap.... Bridge had the lot... He just never managed to bring it all together and maintain it over a period of time.
Still, some great memories.. all the best Chris

| Risky business signing for Widnes at the minute considering their league position, form and no Kevin Brown.
Enjoyed watching Chris over the years, and wish him all the best. Just hope he's playing in Super League next season (though that would mean not at Widnes).

His low point for us probably came against a Hull team too, but the other one, in the 2013 semi final.

Certainly was going to be a game changer either way....if it had come off by some miracle, we would have been out of sight

| I know he's struggled for consistency over his career but Chris Bridge, when playing in the centre is one of my favourite non saints players. I think he's top quality and if he'd had a smother run with injuries etc I think he'd have racked up a lot of caps. He has that canny ability to get on his marker's outside before they've realised it.
I hope he gets a decent last run at Widnes.
