To be absolutely honest though - joking apart - he's really going to struggle to find someone who's known outside Latic fanatic circles.

If they choose some complete non-entity, or someone who was better known for playing at other clubs, it's going to invite hilarity from visiting footie fans.

The Titus Bramble stand!

Or his namesake and what Dave Whelan should have been named at birth

Titus Cramp

The Latics fans have took the news very well indeed

I don't know if anyone's already suggested this, but couldn't Whelan just be giving us this one stand to appease us before he then names the other three stands after latics leg ends?

I know they'd struggle to name one, never mind three, but it's entirely possible. Wouldn't seem such a great gesture then!

Played for us in the mid 80's

What a load of sh*te

Same thought passed my mind although a while back on Cockney Liar or Wigan Today, I forget which, the best they could come up with was some auld kit mon who'd given 30 odd years service. Cheshire Combination League and all.

Exactly!! The traveling support IS approximately 15,000

I'd imagine he would go with one of Alex Cribley (current physio who has been with the club for years and years in I guess a role similar to Keith Mills), Tommy Gore, Harry Lyon or possibly one of the names instrumental in getting us into the FL in 1978.

None of whom are known anywhere apart from wigan shatics fans








Might as well have the John Smiths stand cos he used to clean the bogs at springfield park

A club legend doesn't always have to be World known ya plank.

Keith Mills won't be known by many people outside Wigan or indeed RL and nor would Stan Wall much outside St Helens. They are however club legends.

John Smith Stand it is then eh?!

None of whom I would have a scooby about, get real, there's no such thing as a Latics legend.

i'd wager most latics fans wouldn't know who those blokes are. remember what we're constantly being told, that latics have one of the youngest demopgraphics amongst football supporters.

I refer you to my previous post

Well I AM from Wigan and I've never heard of them.

Exactly.......judging by cockney liar all their fans must look like this!!

Frightening

Wayne Rooney?

Seriously if Alex Cribley, Tommy Gore or Harry Lyon walked past any of you tonight in Wigan Asda how many on this site would recognise them? C'mon???????????

I wouldn't.

70's/80's footballers for me were .....Clemence / Keegan / Docherty / Coppull . Not a few part timers battling it out in the Pontins League.

As Stan was a ref then I'm sure a few other clubs would remember him as well. Both are extremely hard working club men etc. but you wouldn't name a stand after them,

Why not the John Brown stand? Only latics player I can name, ever!

I thought you meant Keith Mills and Stan Wall.

The Nathen the Duke Ellington Stand..........about the biggest pathetics legend to ever exist
