    Ever met a player?

    Has anyone got any good stories regarding current or ex employees of Wigan?

    Had a pleasant one last night.

    Was in Manchester having a pint after work and who should I see but the majority of the squad.

    Had a picture with the lot, barring Ben Watson, he got off before I good pluck up the courage.

    Mike Pollit is a f*cking legend, I don't know if anyone else had has the pleasure of meeting him, but far from treating me like a nuisance as I got the vibe from one or two of them - He treated me like the celebrity, genuinely enquiring as to where abouts in Wigan I was from and going as far to say I was a cool guy - Wore my hat in the picture and hat a cracking pout on him.



    Picture below, obviously after I've just told the best joke in the world to Gary and James.
    (I call them by their firsts now, we're bff's obviously)

    It counts haha. When was it?


    Palacios was a nice geezer, seen him in Grand arcade right before he left for Spurs, I shouted Wilson and he genuinely looked excited that someone had recognised him - Came over and he told my mate to take a picture, made my day.

    No way, much banter?

    I tried having a shot with them - Then Pollit asked for my hat.
    Looking back my response probably put them off the shot, I replied "You can have whatever you want Mike"

    He gave it back. Haha.
