| Whenever I've been lucky enough to be taken home by Westy, I've always made sure he got an extra couple of quid "for a drink". I'm sure I'm not the only one. I was of the lucky few to hear him speak at the Brigantes night out the other week, true legend.

| I've just had my first ever taxi ride home from Graeme. As soon as I got in and looked at his eyes in the rear view mirror I knew it was him. I feel so privileged!! Had a chat with him about rugby on the way home, about Sam in particular and the upcoming season.

Never apologise, especially to cruncher. He'll see it as a weakness rather than a kindness and keep picking on you. As regards Wigans treatment of Westy, it was shabby to say the least and I reckon any post about him going back to NZ will have a mention of it and rightly so.

Fair enough and apologies. Misread the tone of your post.

No worries mate, i was watching Wigan when Westie was playing, and the great era the club had at that time, that's why i have so much interest in Wigan RLFC, think i was only about 7 when my uncle took me to my first match against Saints. Good luck for the season, if you come to the friendly at Leigh, and come in the Goose i will buy you a pint, no hard feelings mate.

| My favourite memory of Westy was a final (semi final?) at Burnden Park against wire.
Les Boyd promised all sorts of trouble.
Westy had him by the throat on the floor in the first 10 minutes. Boyd didn't want to know for the rest of that match, which we won convincingly.

Funnily enough my main memory of Westy on the pitch was when he got sent off in a cup match against Swinton in 1987. Something obviously happened in the tackle, and Westy got up and put his opponent right on his backside with probably the best punch I've ever seen on a rugby pitch.
