Quote: nikos "brett Dallas only retired 2 years ago, so most of us saw him play yet its page 3 before he gets a mention. Will he even get a mention in 5 years?
He was a good player who gave his best for the club, but a legend? no
Barratt - legend? dont make me laugh! and how dare you mention him in the same sentence as the Bostons, Edwards and Hanleys
almost 2 seasons for us (though did seem to miss more than a few through injury - correct me if Im wrong) and for many others went MIA. While he was often the best player on the pitch for us (which TBH was not hard), the odd flash of brillance, a legend does not make.'"
Without Barrett there would have been no semi finals and possibly no play-offs. He was injured for about a month when he arrived and so it took him that long to get into gear and after that he was fine. He dragged a poor team further than it had any right to go.
In his first season he won the players-player award (that is now the vote that gets the MoS) so the players reckon he was the best player in the competition.
As I said we didn't win owt with him here but if we had, he'd as much a legend as Kenny and Kenny is definitely a Wigan legend IMO.
