Wigan Album

Looks like Alan Greenhall second row, maybe Bernard Coyle front row.
Think Alan played centre.

Is that Dave Regan back left

George fairbairn captain Bernard coyle next to him front row les Bolton and nicky kiss

Dennis Ramsdale: Middle row, far left.
George Fairbairn: First row, ball at his feet.

front cover of the match day programmes back in division 2.

Is that Bob Carolgees back row extreme left? No disrespect intended.

Ah Division 2 Rugby ......the wilderness years Player coach George Fairburn front centre.

Les Bolton - front left.. Poor health has taken it's toll, but what a cracking rugby man.

It was 80/81 when Wigan played in division two. I think the coach in this year was Kel Coslett.

ron - if you are posting someone else's photo make sure your spell their name right!
PS Great photo though - some characters on there

Dennis Boyd middle row third from left Les Bolton knelt down on left.

There are a lot of local lads in this squad .nearly all apart from Fairburn ,kiss,and Vigo

I suspect none of these would get into today's team.

No Howard, they might be a little too old now lol.

Bernard Coyle would , , wonderful player. What I saw, my own opinion that is. For me Wigan rugby changed when likes of Andy Gregory/ Shaun Edwards appeared , we now had brains within a team , just like Alex
Murphy at saints . They controlled the game. Again, just my opinion.

Scholes Malc: make sure that your own spelling is correct before you criticise someone else's...

Quote by Scholes Malc "ron - if you are posting someone else's photo make sure your spell their name right!"
Scholes Malc...your..you...!!!!! you've made yourself look like a right PLONKER. To criticise Ron for spelling a name wrong, you should be ashamed of yourself. How many photographs have you contributed to the site?

Willy, would you call that a FAUX PAS? Pot, Kettle, Black,<g>

I suspect you've all made your point, about spelling...but remember, no one's perfect.

I sincerely hope that each of these lads are still all fit, and well, and that the passage of time has treated them well.

Howard P, went today v Wakefield very bad day at the Office. That 79/80 team would have stuffed Wakefield .

Scholes Malc aways seems to find fault,he must be perfect.

You're right, the fella very back left was my grandad Tommy Woosey. Amazing to see this photo. Huge thanks to the original poster

Denis Boyd - Toughest tackler ever and a gentleman.
