| I found this in the 1981-1982 Rothmans book and it definetly says 6 players and that Fairbairn was "sacked despite winning promotion". Adds that "Wigan list Steve O'Neill as he protests at sacking of Fairbairn"
It also says Hudds launched legal action on Bamford for breach of contract when he left. Don't know if they went through with it though, Also says Wigan went in for Murphy at the end of 1980-81 but he signed a 3 year deal to stay at Leigh.
Different subject but does anyone remember the "Sunday Mirror Roadshow" -

| Was there any specific reason why Tony Johnson was "roughly treated" ?

Probably cause it was 1981 and he was 'different'.
Sad but true.

| That clip where he is on the floor after a tackle and a Wigan player looks like he is trying to pull his head off He must of been hard as nails to withstand that!
