No wonder that owd chap on Euston Station was confused. Cheers.

I know how he feels

A great myth that one, that was never said!

What was the Kevin Brown giraffe line?

young Wigan supporter to Jamie Ainscough as he was leaving the stadium after a game.

[i'Who have we got next week Jamie?'[/i

[i'I have no idea mate'[/i - Jamie Ainscough


(We were actually playing Saints in the next game).

Yes it was it was on TV

One from John Monie:

There are only two types of coach in Rugby League: those waiting to be sacked and those looking for a job.

I thought I had seen it on TV but he said `Dog with 2 d1cks`?

So he didn't just look like he couldn't give a sh*t

The Carney quote/misquote, I believe he said he was "twitching like a rabbit's nose"?

Also the Billy McGinty one, I don't think it was actually a piece of pineapple he was "wearing"....!

You are right on the Carney one, I remember him saying that version. Here it is in the press.

[iCarney's two tries were straight out of the top drawer and he said: "Just one game to go now. What a win. I was twitching like a rabbit's nose and the tension was incredible". [/i

It was after we beat Leeds to make the final in '03:

Bill Arthur: "You must be over the moon Brian"
Brian Carney: "Bill, I'm as happy as a rabbit with two c*cks"
Bill Arthur: "We are live on TV Brian"

I understand, I saw what mikey800 wrote above too. I'm just saying (as are Orrell Lad and Bilko) I don't think it's what he actually said.

It wasn't. Unless it was a different match from the play off eliminator win at Leeds in 2003!

Being deaf, I'm fairly good at lip reading.

During the final of the 1996 Middlesex Sevens that Wigan won, one of the Wasps players gave Shaun Edwards an
unprovoked punch in the face. In rugby league he would certainly have received a red card. Shaun was naturally
incensed and said "f*****g animal w****r". I'm pretty sure he didn't say "flipping animal winker".

Lots of folk could lip read, including my old Mum who follows Wigan still.

Having worked in the old cotton mills all their working lives, apart from WW2, they used to 'me mo' all day long.

I could get away with nowt with my old Mum.



She didn't miss a trick.

That's why your Mum, like me, is deaf. The noise from the machinery over the years destroyed her hearing.


These days anyone working in a noisy environement, is equipped with ear muffs.

Andy Gregory when coaching Salford when a 50:50 call went against him in a match said about the referee "Flipping biased Yorkshire twit"

The Wasps player was Lawrence Dallaglio, and what he Shaun called him was far worse than you have posted.

It wasn't Dallaglio. He was a much younger player than Dallaglio and he certainly said what I quoted. It must have been in another incident with Dallaglio, who incidentally became a great admirer of Shaun when he eventually coached the Wasps.

Wasn't it Dallaglio who became firm friends with Edwards after 'connecting' due to them both going through the grieving process after having both recently lost siblings?

Yes. Major love in went on there.

I remember watching the old BBC Floodlit trophy when Eddie Waring commented "he's kicked the ball into the empty crowd".

"What's Bobbie Goulding made of.......oh sugar and spice and all things nice".

Clive Tyldesley - ITV Match versus Widnes in response to Goulding's match winning penalty in the dying seconds of an important league game!

On the morning of the 1984 Cup Final v Widnes, Alex Murphy and Vince Karalius were being interviewed on breakfast television.

Murphy - "Look at him, he looks like someone out of Shawaddywaddy".
