If i remember right, he also did a good job of the coaching when he did it, and as you say a true gent.

Was heavily involved in the 'Knights of Central Park' scheme back in the mid/late 80's IIRC. (My dad was a member of this scheme). Does anyone know what this involved?

My dad was in it too. Was basically the supporter's club. Vaguely remember going to a couple of the Christmas parties when I was a kid

A glorified pi$$ up then?

Yes.

Basically you paid a monthly amount to Wigan. For this you got a few benefits such as:

1. Monthly prize draw
2. Preferential ticket purchases
3. Social odds and sods etc

Oh and not forgetting the very exclusive car stickers



Was a good way of raising money and Graeme West championed it.
