Vital Youth Team
Folks, football friends, since I started watching Wigan about 9 years ago, a memorable sunny afternoon at the DW or JJB v Middlesborough and a 1 – 0 win with a Sibierski goal through until about 6 months ago I have had a ball and a blast.
I have so many wonderful memories to take with me, some fantastic laughs, met some of the nicest most fun people, hugged Gavin’s Mum, have a secret with Norma and had some great times at stunning games.
Of course I have regrets – not going to Everton, Arsenal or Man U and not being Crusty for a day.
My biggest disappointment, like us all, all the shite that is going on now, but the manner you have 'rallied together' reflects the good peope you are.
To all you good people, for adding to my memories I say a huge thank you.
Why am I telling you all this …… I’ve retired and we are moving back to New Zealand where I want to buy a goat to milk, get chickens, plant olive trees and hopefully carry on enjoying myself but in a different way.
My greatest claims to fame include scoring in that same goal as Will Grigg, in ‘that’ game, on my 60th birthday for Goal Shoot, enjoying Vital a lot, even if I was frequently told Ihaven't a clue, having fun on ‘The Wall’ when I couldn’t get to the match, asking DW for his tie when Max wouldn’t give me his shorts after he’d given his shirt to someone else. I could go on for ages. So much good stuff. And without all you great crowd none of it would have happenned.
I’m sorry to be moving away from this fun and I hope it returns sooner that later for you all, you’ve been great.
I’ll still keep popping up on the forii to see what the ‘talk of the town is’ and if I come back I’ll try to get up for a game.
The ES7 folks, around W187, to you all … and everyone, sincerly and honestly ....thankyou again for adding so much to my afternoons. All of you.
Thank you everyone, keep safe and keep having fun. It’s been a great journey – mostly.
