Wigan Album

Looks "unfashionable" - but try to catch him in his day on a rugby field when he's off and away, as he did when scoring 272 tries for Wigan in 300 matches - a top, top player.

In his first 5 years at Wigan he played 160 games and scored an incredible 200 tries - an amazing achievement. If that happened today we'd all know about it.

Isn't this a picture of Malc in his early playing days?

He used to live on the bottom half of Gidlow Lane, almost opposite th'"Hen'ole" He was a Masseur at the time I met him.
