At the end of the match, Dave Whelan put his hands around Ali’s face and said, “I’m going to buy you now”.
Or was it just what I thought I saw through the tears.
It was words to that effect yes.
I think Ali just wanted to soak up the atmosphere & celebrate with the jubilant Wigan fans.
I have never seen a player so happy to celebrate with a loan club (one that hasn’t just won silverware) & its fans. :dance: :dance: :dance:
