In Our Blood: Conversations with Players, Heroes and Fans on Wigan Warriors

To them, it’s a lot more than watching 26 blokes smash hell out of each other once a week. Why does watching a game take centre stage in the lives of those who make trips to places like Hull, Castleford and Perpignan to watch, cheer and barete their heroes? And what about the players on the pitch, now and in the past? Even supporters of rival clubs will concede Wigan is special - whether that’s in admiration or envy. Trophies provide regular milestones in a history dotted with some of the best players that have ever held a rugby ball. Through their own words, supporters, players, heroes and not such heroes talk about what Wigan Rugby League means to them, and why when the full-time hooter goes this rugby-obsessed group of people don’t switch off.
