Ewood ParkEh??? Where’s the text gone from my post?
Northernprimate, I was asking if you are that ex-union player, and if so, which club was that with?
I am, but only since living ‘down south’. I moved about a bit, eventually just playing for fun at Winslow, a small club in North Bucks.
Coming through the Wigan catholic school system I was drilled in playing RL and was convinced it was the better game. Moved to Cambridge aged 19 and one of my housemates played union. I went along and have never looked back. Far superior sport, on and off the field.[/quote]
Sorry Primate, just seen you’re online and remembered I’d not replied.I played rah-rah for Orrell for quite a while and wondered if I’d play against or on the same team as you.

Strange that Mr Walker….
I too used to train at Orrell, in my youth, with a certain Mr Littler – now that should give a few older ones something to think about….
Ah , Frank Littler, great centre.
Played with him many tmes.BTW.DW. 5 mins walk for me.
Mr Littler smoked 200 cigs a day (not really – closer to 100)…….ran like the wind.
DW…anything from 4 miles to 8000. depends where I am (was at the time).

Strange as it may seem, said housemate in Cambridge was a former Orrell player.
Is it just Wiganers who move hundreds of miles away from home and then end up meeting other Wiganers?
Apart from away games, before any smart arse points that out.
SV Hamburg 5miles
St.Pauli 7miles
Bremen 50miles
Wigan 597 miles by air
