They also featured plenty dicking around from people like Henderson Gill and Joe Lydon too.



I remember Gilly once making an audacious 'dive' to try and make a tackle, then rolling round on the floor for ages as if he was injured, seeiming taking the mick out of soccer players.

would it suprise anyone if faz played? Related to lockers aswell.

Somebody asked Sam Tomkins about Faz on twitter and he said 'that's taking it a bit far' so I very much doubt it.



I'd guess we'll maybe see Deacon and Coley.

David Vaeliki?

O'Connor?

Hampo?

Kelvin? Both the Gorilla and Skerrett!

Sean Long...........

Hampo won't be playing.



Heard a whisper Joel and Farrell may play but I doubt it considering they are in the middle of a season.

IIRC there was a testamonial at Central Park (Can't remember who??) and some bloke from Latics played. Even then he was greeted with "There's only one team in Wigan".

It was either Edwards' or Dermott's. He was involved in a halftime kicking comp. Gary Schofield, Hampo, Botica, Latics player and a few others were involved. Hampo won.



I think David Grindley played 5 mins in the game too.

I had in my mind it was Edwards. In the 2nd half, they were mucking around (American Football throws, tackling the ref....etc).

The Edwards testimonial match was played on Wednesday 12th August 1992 when he was just 25. He qualified for it by achieving 300 appearances. Wigan beat a Great Britain select XIII 37-36. David Grindley scored "a touchdown" in the last minute.



Crowd was 5,796 with the kick off having been delayed by torrential rain which probably put a few fans off.



The story on that night though was Andy Gregory not playing ahead of his imminent departure.
