An owd Wigan Supporter complete with Flat cap and White silk scarf staggers into Euston Station after the Wigan v Hull (1960)final very much the worse for wear.

He goes up to this very large bobby and says " con you tell me time of the last train to Daisy Hill",

"I'm as cross as a cross man in a cross shop" (Brian Noble).

Quite a few years ago ( Maybe 15 to 20 years) the Rugby Union World Cup was being held in Europe with games being played in England, Scotland, Ireland , Wales and France. A television crew was travelling between the countries to different games making a documentary as they went along. As the TV crew were travelling from France up to Scotland one of the crew suggested calling in at Barrow RLFC on the Friday night as he had heard that Barrow had a " good little social club on the ground". So they called in and recorded some of the night. At one point the interviewer spoke to an old bloke with his flat cap on and a pint of flat rib in his hand and asked him " What do you think of Rugby Union then"? The old bloke replied " It's the only game I know where the crowd handle the ball more than the players" Classic!

1985 Challenge Cup Final after Brett Kenny scored his wonder try, Alex, who commented that Kenny had his hands in his pockets before kick off, came out with this spluttering classic"I wish Hull,I bet wish Hull, I bet Hull wish he had his hands in his pockets now"

Another one from Terry O'Connor after he'd taken a couple of good uns from Gordon Tallis and was asked if he'd been hurt. "No, the wife hits me harder than that".

I dont remember that game, 1960, try 1959

No wonder that owd chap on Euston Station was confused. Cheers.

I know how he feels

A great myth that one, that was never said!

What was the Kevin Brown giraffe line?

young Wigan supporter to Jamie Ainscough as he was leaving the stadium after a game.

[i'Who have we got next week Jamie?'[/i

[i'I have no idea mate'[/i - Jamie Ainscough


(We were actually playing Saints in the next game).

Yes it was it was on TV

One from John Monie:

There are only two types of coach in Rugby League: those waiting to be sacked and those looking for a job.

I thought I had seen it on TV but he said `Dog with 2 d1cks`?

So he didn't just look like he couldn't give a sh*t

The Carney quote/misquote, I believe he said he was "twitching like a rabbit's nose"?

Also the Billy McGinty one, I don't think it was actually a piece of pineapple he was "wearing"....!

You are right on the Carney one, I remember him saying that version. Here it is in the press.

[iCarney's two tries were straight out of the top drawer and he said: "Just one game to go now. What a win. I was twitching like a rabbit's nose and the tension was incredible". [/i

It was after we beat Leeds to make the final in '03:

Bill Arthur: "You must be over the moon Brian"
Brian Carney: "Bill, I'm as happy as a rabbit with two c*cks"
Bill Arthur: "We are live on TV Brian"

I understand, I saw what mikey800 wrote above too. I'm just saying (as are Orrell Lad and Bilko) I don't think it's what he actually said.

It wasn't. Unless it was a different match from the play off eliminator win at Leeds in 2003!

Being deaf, I'm fairly good at lip reading.

During the final of the 1996 Middlesex Sevens that Wigan won, one of the Wasps players gave Shaun Edwards an
unprovoked punch in the face. In rugby league he would certainly have received a red card. Shaun was naturally
incensed and said "f*****g animal w****r". I'm pretty sure he didn't say "flipping animal winker".

Lots of folk could lip read, including my old Mum who follows Wigan still.

Having worked in the old cotton mills all their working lives, apart from WW2, they used to 'me mo' all day long.

I could get away with nowt with my old Mum.



She didn't miss a trick.

That's why your Mum, like me, is deaf. The noise from the machinery over the years destroyed her hearing.


These days anyone working in a noisy environement, is equipped with ear muffs.

Andy Gregory when coaching Salford when a 50:50 call went against him in a match said about the referee "Flipping biased Yorkshire twit"

The Wasps player was Lawrence Dallaglio, and what he Shaun called him was far worse than you have posted.
