that's an old Les Dawson gag

Not a quote from a Wigan player or coach, but some from Ray French:


"And there we see the sad sight of Martin Offiah limping off with a broken finger."

"Well Joe, in today's game it's all about pasta and enzymes, when I played we only had a segment of orange".

And my favourite:
"Every time we come to Headingley is a dog on the pitch. Why oh why people bring dogs to Rugby games, I'll never know"

oops .. posted in wrong topic

My favourite would be the following warm words of friendship and respect bellowed during a classic Derby game at KR by the Wigan and GB captain to his GB vice captain playing for Saints:

"You £@!&ing s*#thouse!"

One I remember from the fifties is when a certain fullback was asked after paying a visit to the Dentist what had happened ,he is quoted as saying.
"Against Wigan last week I had a word with Billy Boston before the match asking which way he would side step if he was one on one with me, HE TELLS LIES".

And a big thanks to big fat Gary Schofield for all the motivation this week.

Or two corkers from the king of put downs Mr Maurice Lindsey.

In reference to Latics;

" They’re a very successful, thrivinglittle club andthey’ve done almost everything right, they’ve signeda lot ofquality juniors, but they’ve chosen the backyardof rugby league to do it in.”

Or when discussing Dire;

Wonderful little club but they just aren't Wigan.

Can anyone remember what Denis Betts said about the 'Leigh v Wigan rivalry' in 2005 (I think) Cant find the quote anywhere.

Yes Ray French has some classics. His comment about the sizes of the opposing packs was rather ill-timed as it coincided with the overhead camera focussing on the river cave Central Park gents toilet "Alex, there's some big lads out today."

"He's strolling along saying "Well there's only two chasing me""

' i think hes carryin a leg and has to come off'

'He hits the line with a kind of goose step, I think he will be a fans favourite'

Frano Botica to Dean Bell, after Bell got his nose smashed and his eyebrow split during a tough match at Widnes:

"It's a good job your f&&&&&g married!"

It's not Terry Holmes Bradford need, it's Sherlock.
