I could never take to Mark Bell for some reason, I think I’d been spoiled with wingers over the years and he came at the wrong time. Wayne McDonald was longer than a fortnight, wasn’t he 6’7” or summat like that?

Can't believe I left Danny Orr off. He was really good for Cas. Scored for us on debut away at Bradford when they were champs, then did bugger all afterwards. My abiding memory of him is Farrell being tackled upright by one player on his own in the in goal, and Orr standing in front of him watching instead of moving behind him to take an easy pass and get back in the field of play. After the drop out was awarded Farrell gave him a right mouthful and Orr looked genuinely scared. In the early 00s we seemed to have the reverse midas touch for halves (bar Lam), they all came as stars and left as failures.

Karl Pryce. The bloke was huge, had very good ball skills but not the determination to go with hit.

I believe if he had the right attitude he could have been England’s GI.

Karl Pryce was one of those players that successive coaches look at and think they can make into superstars. After Bradford he went to RU and did nothing, then Wigan and ditto. A more recent similar example is Tony Williams - huge man, occasional glimpses of something incredible, but utterly sunk by his lack of effort.

I remember watching Nigel Wright for Wakefield and he stood very good comparison to Henry Paul at the same age in terms of ability if not style (they might even have played in the same Wakefield team as teenagers?). He just oozed class as a teenager, and its an utter shame injuries wrecked his career.

Some of our own produced players

Chris Tuson
Rob Smythe
Luke Robinson
Kev Brown
Logan Tomkins


never made at Wigan for various reasons, in some cases achieving more success at other clubs or injury in other cases. There was a full back who played a few times for Wigan but later played for London whose name escape me who showed some early promise but seemed to drift after that.


I suppose you could also list players who played in the junior or academy levels and went on to play for other clubs.
