When we were at Central Park the testimonials were a real fun affair and weren't the 'trial' games that they seem to be now. Graeme West's testimonial had John Monie, John Dorahy, Dean Bell, Sorrenson, Vaughan West (His son), Tamati, Edwards..... Although the game lacked intensity, it was good to see all these blokes on the field again.



I'm sure it would put a few thousand on Lockers gate if Farrell, O'Connor, Furner, Lam, Wild, Brown etc were able to play.

Sam also tweeted that there may be a few more surprises on the night.

Maybe somebody else is making a comeback?

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.
