I stand corrected, forgot all about Doc Murray!!

Forgot about Danny Campbell too, but Deano still does it for me.

gary henley-smith!!!!!! not really- mean dean for me

Dean Bell, only man I've made both a banner and a song about for Wembley!

From the time I have been watching, it has to be Dean Bell. I use to live next door to him in Standish when he first started playing for us. Did he move to Ashton later? Always had time for a chat, as a kid I would be invited in. I remember one day his wife answered and asked me in, she shouted Dean and he appeared at the top of the stairs with just his shorts on, he was still dripping from his shower and he still had time for a chat. Top bloke!

Mean Dean ...The Legend

"They can't run without their heads"

Got to be Henry Paul. His silky skills were worth the entrance money alone.

I agree. Vaealiki had some class about him - that was evident but he was clearly a broken down version of his former self.

Original question - Inga by a mile.

Really enjoyed watching Craig Smith play - fantastic prop at his best.

of those I've seen play live, got to be craig smith, was a super prop at times

I wone the raffle at half time and got to choose a players shirt of my choice. It had to be Craig Smiths top! I will always remember walking onto the pitch with Gordon and asking Craig for his shirt, he took it off on the pitch and handed it to me and my wife. He was a monster and the shirt was dripping. He turned his attention to Luke Robinson and give him an almighty telling off, "you ask me if I *want* to take the ball in, don't just throw it at me"
It was one of them jaw dropping moments, Luke just looked at him and apologised.


*It was either want or am ready to*

Craig Smith

Got to be Deano, but so many are heroes, particularly Westy and Frano for different reasons.

Saw Deano and his family at Manchester Airport in August 94 - we caught the same shuttle down to Gatwick. Pretty certain Deano was returning to NZ as he was about to move to Auckland Warriors. I wanted to talk about Wigan's previous season (under Dorahy) and the consensus amongst the fans that Westy should get the coach's job full time ( he had been caretaker for the Brisbane game). Deano was very diplomatic - tbh his wife was more concerned about Deano pulling his weight looking after the children rather than talking to me! Sensible woman...!!

Botica (loved the fact he used to live at the end of my street), Bell, Paul.
