Jimmy Irvine and Warren Wilson were "potty" off the pitch as well.

How come no-one has mentioned Mike McLean?

His wife once gave him £150 to go to the supermarket and me him and Ned spent it in the Plummet Line over three days during which he never went home.

I think the biggest eccentric I knew was Paul Round.

Just for fun I'll give Ben Beevers a mention -

im sure I saw him have a run in with Les Boyd when Wire played us and then when the Aussies played us, didnt he trample all over the body and face of one of their forwards? (Spud Carroll?)

I remember Ben Beevers whipping out his old man and taking a leak on the halfway line just before the kick-off of a Batley A-team match when he played for us.
Good player actually!

Dick Fairbank - just ask Kurt Sorensen after Dick put him on his backside with one punch at Naughton Park. He was also the one that upended Les Boyd and Kevin Tamati in same game at Wilderspool.

A few others who didn't take a backward step - Steve Smith and Alan Wood, in the days when a 26 man free-for-all happened every game.
