Who is Cheshire's most valuable Penny? : Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:02 am
A debate has been raging for more than a year now, as to who is Cheshire's most valuable rugby league Penny.
The debate has centred around Kevin Penny, the once celebrated current wizard winger for Warrington, and Lee Penny, the former star full back for Warrington, who also valiantly represented Scotland in the notoriously unsuccessful 2000 World Cup.
What a pity that nobody has tried to rank either of these with the famous and dazzling former Widnes scrum half, Sydney born Joel Penny.
Cheshire has attracted an unusual number of distinguished Celts named Penny, perhaps because of the role of the Mersey on the inland trade routes from Liverpool, and perhaps because of the land immigration from Wales, not to mention the southward drift of so many impoverished Scottish families. .
Still the question remains unanswered: who is Cheshire's most valuable Penny?
