It seems as though the Club are trying to wipe the memory from Brian noble from the history books.......
From the Loyal 18 page
Warriors Head Coach, Michael Maguire added:
"Wigan fans have been fantastic, particularly in recent years. Their loyal support never ceases to amaze me and, as a team, we feel it is important to recognise the special role they play.
"They are Wigan's ‘18th man' at every game - both home and away - and fully deserve squad number 18. It is a huge thank-you from us to them."
Correct me if i am wrong but was this not what Nobby said word for word when "loyal 18" was incorporated into the squad numbers?
