Was just wondering if people have any good memories of influential/meaningful quotes from current or past Wigan players or coaches. Can be any that stick in your head such as my personaly favourite was the Brian Carney interview where he says "as happy as a rabbit with two co*k$"

Anybody have any memories?

I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.:9356.jpg



Quote: I8pies "I remember watching the old BBC Floodlit trophy when Eddie Waring commented "he's kicked the ball into the empty crowd".'"


Another one from Eddie during a floodlit cup game at Warrington was, " The shadows are lengthening here at Wilderspool".

Andy Gregory & Steve Hampson were playing their first game for Illawarra having just flown in the day before. In the dressing room before th game the coach says "right lads, I know you're jet-lagged but give me a big 40 minutes and we'll pull you off at half time". Greg turns to Hampo and says "they know how to look after players over here, we only get a cup of tea and a bit of orange at Wigan....."

Greg was speaking at the Lance Todd awards dinner in 2011 and was asked by Jack Dearden what his favourite Wembley memory was, to which he replied it'd have to be beating Saints 29-0.

Right on cue, half a dozen or so Saints fans shouted out something along the lines of 'It was 27-0 you fat Wigan b*stard'.

Greg then said everytime he tells that story he gets the same reaction from Saints fans telling him the right score, and that 'I get the Wigan score wrong sometimes, but I always remember it ends in St. Helens nil'.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:

icon_lol.gif He always tells that one, did it at a refs do I was at about 10 years ago. Another one of his during a game
AG "If I say you're a bent b*stard what will happen?"
Ref "You'll be off"
AG "What if I just think you're a bent b*stard"
Ref "That's fine"
AG "OK, I think you're a bent b*stard!"
