Quote: fleabag "Maybe I am showing my age now.
My Dad and I always liked John Pendlebury.
If the game got rough, JP loved it.
For his size, he played well above his weight.
He would take anyone on for the fisticuffs.
When we were quite frankly dire, JP was one of those who got us 'back on track' for trophies.
Where is he now ?'"
3 weeks ago I know he caught the train at Wigan and was heading through Warrington.
Me and a mate had a conversation about him at the time.
One of the many players that played a part in the "Transition" phase under Mo etc.
As I've said before we didn't go from Relegation to Champions overnight and the period from 81 through 86/7 was very interesting, never dull and littered with highs and lows.
Mick Scott, Nicky Kiss, Colin Whitfield, David Stephenson, Gary Stevens, Brian Case, Ian Potter , Steve Nicholson, Dennis Ramsdale and many more inc a young Henderson Gill and even younger Steve Hampson and Sean Edwards that all played a part in building a platform over 3/4 seasons that led to the next step of signing truly World Class players such as Goodway, Hanley, Lydon, Gregory etc.
