Quote twosevenzero="twosevenzero"A couple more 'old' Wigan wingers to look at...........Brian Nordgren, 294 apps, 312 tries. Gordon Ratcliffe, 212 apps, 185 tries, including 7 in 1 match !!.
ps, best opposing player I've seen against Wigan.........Alex Murphy, outstanding, probably the best scrum half I've seen up to now.'"
Ernie Ashcroft the great Wigan and GB centre it was widely rumoured wouldn't pass the ball to Nordgren(noggy).According to the rumour he said "He gets more money than me !"
Lots of women used to drool over 'noggy' by all accounts.
Brian Nordgren came with Cec Mountford from NZ.
Just asked my old Dad, and he really rated Lionel Cooper who was "class" to use his word. He also rated the 'Headingley Express' Eric Harris.
Harris was very fast, but Cooper was better, according to my old Dad.
