Maurice : Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:48 pm  

Watched the Bradford replay a few days ago and the sky cameras panned in on Maurice (well the top half of his face). Had to say that he looked pretty frail which left me a little shocked to be honest.
We're all aware he was pretty ill towards the end of his reign, anyone know how he is faring these days. Hope the owd fella is doing okay, we all know he bleeds cherry and white at the end of the day!!

i don't know too much, but he was talking to a family member of mine and the only thing he was going to the hospital about was his knee's apparently had to have ops on his knees, like most older people and there joints. I don't know about ill health.

but he did look a little frail, mind you how old is he these days?

Not sure how is health is but i wish him all the best for sure. He's a Wiganer through and through and even though he did more harm then good in his last spell here he always did things what he thought were right for his club.

He's been well enough to work for Latics I think?

In fact I think he attended a meeting on behalf of them just last week.

Good to see him still supporting us.

Watching Latics would have a bad effect on him. I got free tickets for the matches against Fulham and West Ham and I won't go again...not even for free. It was boring and watching players cheat and feign injury infuriated me.

last game i went to was vs bournemouth maybe 10 years ago. it ended 0-0 and i only remember 2 things about the game.
1- the pitch looked like a beach
2- you could here people on the other side of the stadium having conversations

i wish mo all the best, unfortunate the way he left us but it was his time to go.

I hardly recognised him, he's aged loads since he left the club
