Does anyone remember the players strike in the 70s when the first team refused to play and therefore the ‘A’ teamers and a few amateurs from St. Pats stepped in?
when was it, who was the game against, and what was the Wigan team?
thanks

Quote: Rogues Gallery "If ever a man deserved an honour for his services to Rugby League in was Geoff (the original Piggy) Fletcher.'"


I agree.

The guy bled Rugby League.

Quote: wigan pie man "something among my brain cells tells me Fletcher was assistant to Ashurst and played...............but Ashurst got sent off'"


Doesn't surprise me with Bill Ashurst, he could certainly dish it out

His large family used to turn up for all his matches at CP.

IIRC they all lived in Ince.

Was a big fan of Sash when I was a lad. Remember him running his blood to water at Wembley in 1970.

There's a picture here of Geoff Fletcher in 1970 at Central park when he played for Wigan.

There's not many pics of him about.

Quite a catalogue of injuries ?
