| Quote: WIGAN FOREVER "His try on a Knowsley Road mudbath in the the 1984 CC quarter final that turned the game in our favour with less than 20 minutes left. We'd gone 14 years without a wembley appearance and that set us on our way even though we eventually came up short against Widnes.'"
This is my main memory of him. I was only a bit of a kid back then and being in that packed kop end when Pengy went over was immense!
This (to me), felt the start of something special...we were hitting "the big time"!

| 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 ?'"
isn't he married to Amanda Wilkinson who works for Wigan RLFC?

Harry Pinner was a great ball playing forward. One of my favourite saints player of old.

33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.
