[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

Warrington was always the worst for the racial abuse that Henderson and Ellery suffered,they had their own black player in Des Drummond but that never stopped them from chucking bananas on the pitch.Although it's not as bad as it was it's still bubbling away under the surface

| Quote: MattyB "I really hope that when the new season starts and hopefully the bar in Robin Park Arena reopens then the club can bring in popular former players such as Henderson to speak pre-match. We had a period of five games with Andy Greg (bless him tries his best), but needs mixing it up a bit.
Gilly speaking pre-match and giving photo opportunities would fill the place out, no doubt about it.'"
Great idea.
I’ve never met Gilly but I believe that he is a real gent and quite a funny guy.
I’d love to meet him and have a photo with him. I know that my grandson would love it too.
One of my all time favourite players. A fantastic winger and a true entertainer. |

I agree, when we played Saints in the Challenge Cup Semi at Wire in 2011 Gilly and his lad walked the whole width of the pitch at the end of the match dressed with cherry and white scarves. His dancing and waving to the Wigan fans will go down in history. Not only a character but an incredible player back in the mid-late eighties. |

Was lucky enough to be in Sydney in '88 when he did "a bit of a boogie", without doubt my favourite "I was there" match
