He signed for Preston Grasshoppers some time ago. His ban is up on 12th November. I think that he presumed that some of the bigger RU clubs might look at him and give him one last big pay day, but he won't make a lot at Preston.
Sean Long is also there though, so a move to SAlford could well be on the cards.

Totally agree with what you have said here about Gleeson wasting his career and I have no doubt that he would of achieved so much more had he been able to control himself in terms of his lifestyle.

I think when he does eventually retire from the game he will have plenty of regrets and will probably be remembered more for his off field behaviour rather than what he did on it.

There are some very interesting reports about what happened the day he turned up for training half baked when Madge was in charge.

Loves the City

care to divulge?

in terms of regrets, gleeson strikes me as the sort of guy who will be telling people in the pub as an old man about how he was mistreated.

Im told that he arrived for training drunk and that a number of other players tried to cover it up by taking him to the showers and pouring coffee down his neck - apparently Madge caught them and informed Gleeson on the spot that he was no longer in the clubs plans.

The other players involved including Tommy L where given a good dressing down for good measure and fined by the club.

I believe he joined Hull shortly after this.

There's better stories than that about Gleeson at Wigan training. ^

Go on then...

Think he is FINISHED in the professional game, on playing & coaching front.

That's not a recipe for disaster! Long and gleeson.
If he is going to try his career again could do well to move away from friends and temptation

It's one of the reasons Amos was dropped around the same time also.

A number of regulars from this board saw him in all his glory at a shevington sharks presentation night

I think a couple of mobile phones contain some quite damning evidence too.

I can well imagine that under a different regime players would get away with things like this but it seems fairly certain that this was not the case under Maguire and I would like to think that Shaun Wane would take a similar approach.

Martin Gleeson was a good player who could of been great.

It'll be interesting in a few years ago to see how Gleeson will be remembered. Will it be for being possibly the best centre of his generation or his off field stuff. I think it will be the latter.

It will be a bit of both for me, as well as a feeling of what could have been. Just not professional enough at the end of the day.
