It was supposed to be mainly about SL though. He managed to mention the emergence of Bradford as being the main contributary factor in the demise of Wigan during the last 10 years. lol He never mentioned the derby games or anything like that.

I see your point to a certain degree, around the time of his return stint to Wigan, Bradford were emerging, St helens had already emerged! Like I say it was about him really and not much about Wigan either to be honest.

Maurice Lindsey is as bent as a nine bob note..

On the Wigan Forum, Rogues said he wished Mo would write a book, He already has for the Pies, it's called "The Rent Book"

His connection with Wigan and then as an RFL chief was unhealthy to say the least.



He left his mark on your club and on the game lets be fair...although I think he did damage we will never fully understand.

Lets not forget He seriously thought a Wires Widnes Merger was a good idea also a Wakfield Castleford Merger too. But never considered a Leigh Wigan Merger and thats what will always make him look as honest and fair as Maradonna to non Wigan fans.



I didnt like the way he lorded up the GB team with its stack full of Wigan players casually saying "although Gary connolly was still a Saints player we had signed him so we counted him as one of ours" how can you not Spew at that.....?



I wish him all the best in football, but the game of Rugby League has now moved on and for the better

If he is, what of it?

bent = corrupt

and thats not a libellous accusation?

Please explain.

But he was no different than any of us. He drank just as much as me and the lads, he wasn't in more trouble than me or mates, he was just a normal young lad.



Anything he did got blown out of proportion big time as you'll see him say next week.



He liked a beer but it never ever effected the way he played or trained. He trained harder than any player I've seen.



He's a good bloke but People beleive what they hear and read to much.

I don't know much about him and heard all the rumours but from watching the show on Thursday he came across very well.



He's a self made man from working class background who did a awesome job for the pies and then was the driving force for super league and summer rugby.



Nobody can say super league hasn't been a great success.



On the subject of summer rugby, he spoke about kids can't learn much on cold , wet, windy days/nights yet kids rugby is still played in the winter.

The three main stories I heard regarding Goulding and trouble (whilst at Saints) are :



-A disagreement between him and Alan Hunte led to huntey's transfer to hull and some fisticufts.

-He had a fight with Chris Joynt in the changing rooms at odsal before a match, in which Joynt inexplicably started on the bench.

-Andy Northey beat him up.



All of which were from rumour type sources and had little to back them up and none of them involved drink.
