Quote crumpledshorts="crumpledshorts"Is there ever a big following away, surely you're all busy catching Shaun's toys and dummies? You stole, bought and cheated for years. Lindsey set the game back and successive administrators have continued the tradition.'"
Lindsay set the game back? He's possibly the most forward thinking chairmen in the history of the game.
Brought back the World Club Challenge competition attracting massive attendances.
Dragged the game kicking and screaming into the professional era.
Was instrumental in the move away from winter rugby.
Organised successful World Cup Tournaments with record crowds.
Arranged a massive SKY TV deal with the invention of SL, much to the joy of other club chairmen.
Turned many Wigan players into household names.
Let's not blame him for the sale of Central Park or near administration either, other mitigating circumstances caused those.
Without Lindsay the sport would probably have remained a winter game and semi pro by now. Name another administrator with as much influence in the last forty years.
