Futtocks Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Terrible news. One of the biggest stars in a Wigan team of stars. By all accounts a very nice bloke too.

One of the few players that I didn't care who he played for, I just used to love watching him play. RIP Inga the winger. Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington.

Just Browny Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Very sad news, he was a real star when I started watching and 52 is no age. RIP. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Maximus Decimus Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 So sad, I was just watching a game on YouTube the other day where single-handedly saved Wigan against Widnes.
