| Quote: Deano G "Anyone know how the conversation went when John Major was being shown round the changing rooms at Wembley and was greeted by Billy McGinty wearing only a strategically placed pineapple ring?'"
From memory it went something like
BM bursts into camera
"Pineapple John" - BM pointing to the offending item

| Not really a quote as such, but a motivational statement from Martin Offiah to the 2010 Wigan Grand Final team was fantastic. Even as a Saints fan I was applauding that when I saw it after the game. I've got the picture somewhere at home, I'm pretty sure someone on here has it in their sig aswell.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| A story I heard from one of his team mates about Roy Haggerty when on tour down under.....
Having a meal in the hotel...
RH to Waitress (Jokingly)
"Don't you have any Pot Noodles?"
Waitress "Sorry, Sir, but we don't"
RH "What sort of hotel is this? We can get Pot noodles no problem back home"
Waitress "Where's 'home'?"
RH "Englund"
Waitress (Jokingly) "I know you're from England, you pommie ba***rd. Where abouts in England?"
RH (seriously) "Elifunt Lane"

| Quite a few years ago ( Maybe 15 to 20 years) the Rugby Union World Cup was being held in Europe with games being played in England, Scotland, Ireland , Wales and France. A television crew was travelling between the countries to different games making a documentary as they went along. As the TV crew were travelling from France up to Scotland one of the crew suggested calling in at Barrow RLFC on the Friday night as he had heard that Barrow had a " good little social club on the ground". So they called in and recorded some of the night. At one point the interviewer spoke to an old bloke with his flat cap on and a pint of flat rib in his hand and asked him " What do you think of Rugby Union then"? The old bloke replied " It's the only game I know where the crowd handle the ball more than the players" Classic!

| Another one from Terry O'Connor after he'd taken a couple of good uns from Gordon Tallis and was asked if he'd been hurt. "No, the wife hits me harder than that".
