Warrington Wolves • Why the Wire?
Was it an accident of birth, parental influence or did some other factor influence you? I suspect for most it was your home town team.
I went to Secondary school in Newton-le Willows. I didn’t know Rugby League existed before then. My best friend and his dad were (are) committed Wire supporters. They took me to a match, I was hooked. Part of the appeal was being so close to the pitch and the players. We usually stood by the players tunnel at the front. The smell of Wintergreen is still so evocative.
Given that the school was almost equally divided between Saints and Wigan I count my blessings, thank you Neil!
