Quote: NickyKiss "Clarke just likes to make noise to try and hang on to a job. If he believes that then I guess he’s letting a bit of the green eyed monster cloud his judgement.
I remember many years ago speaking to an old boss of mine about Wane and how he’d just got appointed as u19’s coach (or whatever his first job was in coaching). The guy knew him really well and mixed in the same circles. He couldn’t believe he’d got a coaching job, even at that level and laughed the appointment off, as though he thought he’d last a few months and get binned off. It’s safe to say he didn’t expect that one day Shaun Wane would be sat in the England coaches seat, having won 3 Grand finals, 1 Challenge cup and 1 World Club Challenge as head coach of Wigan’s first team.
Great journey and I’m chuffed that a working class lad like Shaun Wane has been able to make people eat their words.'"
On the day Wane was signed as a player, the then Director and former player Jack Hylton told me that he was one of the best young signings the club had ever made and would be a future International.
How true was his words.
