Sabotage Times. We cant concentrate so why should you?
I have discovered the above website. . and a piece written last year by Wigan fan Finton, about the 1985 Wigan v Hull Challenge Cup Final. There were many rugby league legends playing that day. . Brett Kenny, Peter Sterling, Shaun Edwards. . .
"Shaun Edwards. . full back. Enigmatic, Handsome, Eloquent. . all words I ve never heard associated with Edwards. The lad could play a bit though and went on to win a couple of medals before retiring to teach southeners how to tackle and take offence at Irish folk songs on the Welsh team bus.
John Ferguson.. . winger. Older than Roger Milla and Kanu combined. Scored 24 tried in 25 appearances, including a length of the field effort in this game just moments after wise old sage Alex Murphy declared on TV that his leg injury was so bad he d have to come off.
Brett Kenny. . stand off. The coolest man in the world whose hands in pocket antics made Bjorn Borg look like John Terry psyching himself up for a World Cup Final. Integral in 3 first half tries and sealed the Lance Todd Trophy with a solo effort that saw him arc through the Hull defence without a single finger being laid on him.
Graeme West. . .second row. Captain. Genial giant who for me was the most important figure in Wigans climb to success. Now drives a taxi round town and will happily turn the meter off if you ve arrived home before he finishes telling you how Alex Murphy lamped Maurice lindsey with a telephone. "
