I believe Basil is a top coach now, a cult hero at Wire.
Mateaki Mafi was fast but couldn't catch a ball for toffee,
I once went to a party at mateaki's and Richard Henare's flat. On top of the TV was a photo of Mafi and Linford Christie racing each other at the Barcelona Olympics and Henare was skinning up all night.

| Quote: Wire_in_Wigan "What was that question and response cat?'"
i can't believe that open ended statement worked. LOL
i asked cull, whether the club, or other clubs were concerned and trying to complain about jason hooper and his shoulder charging tery on kickers, as he was hurting people(and ended up having to retire having ed his shoulder).
Cull's reply was," we need to get our own house in order first, we've got a player that pushes others into advertising hoardings"
he then came out with the pearler of
"people in greenhouses, shouldn't thrown stones"
pure cull that. |

doesnt that make him a great signing then if he was able to forge a good career despite being only average.
John Thursfield was a less than average hooker he was at warrington as a player for almost ten seasons for only two season was he first choice hooker the rest of his wire career was played out quite rightly in the reserves. oh aye he scored one try.......!
John Clarke was never that bad or showed that much lack of ambition.
get a grip understand what a bad hooker actually is before talking cack, and respect a bloke that got us to wembley by playing a blinder in the 2009 semi but missed out on the final due to the injury sustained in that semi.......
anyway with that rant over why are people listing Kevin Walters he came over here with three boys not long after his wife died of Cancer and couldnt Settle I'd say thats fair feckin do's.
Worst signing was that lad off Gladiators Neil Parsley...I mean if ever a barrell was being scraped that was it.....jesus they put him in the same team as Alan Langer.

Here is one the older posters will remember, from the days when the game was in black & white...John Tembey, signed from Saints for £5000 which was a lot at the time ,a prop who broke his arm or leg soon after starting his Wire career , came back ,quickly broke his other arm or leg & had to retire .He didn't do much for the time he actually played.

Hells teeth 9, you are really going back there. It was 1964 or 5 ?, and you are right he came and went in the same year certainly. He must have passed away at least 10 yrs ago now. |

Always thought that if Basil Millward had had a go with Parsley he would have looked alright. We probably didn't give him enough thyme to settle down. |

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4729.jpg |

Not having that one mate. Not the most loyal bloke to wear the P&B can't fall into this catagory.
He was a good distributor with a great kicking game. Came back to Wilderspool and left with wins for Saints and Fax more times than I would like to remember. |

..he did take the pith just a bit that day with Boyd, Tamati and Jacko completely dominating the crust munchers. |
