    Like I said, they were more talented. Please re-read.

    Talent aside - Do you prefer Gareth Whalley over Gary Jones?

    I spoke to Mills for quite a while at the PL team dinner a couple of year ago. He came across as a really nice and genuine bloke and said to me that he definitely wanted to stay but GR was offering new players stupid money and the players that got them there very little.

    As an example, I was told by another player that Moore asked for his wages doubling to £8k a week. We refused and replaced him with Weatherall on £18k a week.

    Q ) What day is it tomorrow?

    When Pickford was with us for that season Mark Prudhoe attended many home games and we were reminiscing at half time about his time with us.
    He surprised me by saying there was a massive difference between what squad members were getting paid, the Legend not being one of the top earners and that was before Benni came.

    Moore was never given the go so it's difficult to judge but hindsight says you're probably just about right.

    Preferred how, colour of his eyes, hair . If you don’t say why, everyone just goes round in circles trying to guess what you mean and how one maybe have arrived at the answer.A very simple principle…..

    Ah Norman Corner 6'2" and jumped 6' but drew his fair share of free kicks.

    Boooooooooo!

    Yes another decent pairing for their time, league and era.

    Can you recall who Gerry Ingrams partner was Rod. Without reading up, I’ve completely forgotton. Rackstraw?

    The milkman?
    Not sure about Ingram he was early/mid 1970’s, I think Charlie left in 1970.

    Ha ha. that reminds me of Mark Leonard mate!
    A cross comes in and Leonard jumps before the ball has even been kicked, by the time the ball gets to him he's landed back on the ground and not a cat in hells chance of heading it!! :joy:

    And built like an outside toilet
    Always remember standing behind the dug outs at Wigan old ground (my old man Always went in the home end at away matches) when we played them. Hawley was sub and was sat on an.old school chair, in his kit, smoking a fag. Yorath turned to him and said your on. He just stubbed his fag out and went straight on. No warm up !
