Widnes

Well, you've, well, you've sort of answered it.

Well, 'cause yeah, 'cause Taylor Swift is obviously female, but the Widnes Town Taylor Swift is male.

Well, the, the only thing I can say to you is you, you've asked for gender, and the only thing I would say is this particular person-

Oh, Sam Smith [laughs]

We'll go to Bury, and then Clitheroe, and Buckle, and Lower Breck.

Uh, uh, Prescott Cables as well.

We'll go through the controversial issues as well, uh, and carnage, uh, evaporating out of Widnes Town and Doncaster City.

Uh, we'll also, uh, cover the Cheshire League as well.

Um, yeah, g-great, great player.

He was-- came quite young, I think, when he made his debut at Widnes and went to Huddersfield.

He's been Toulouse, like, three or four years now, and he's just thriving out there, loving it.

Um, yeah.

Um, luckily, we never struggled.

But again, you know, when we won the league with Liverpool, um, we were training at Widnes Rugby ground on a 4G pitch.

We were sharing the, the gym facilities with the local residents.

You know, we were celebrating our title victory in Nando's in Widnes, you know? [laughs] We were...

I remember when I first signed for Liverpool, we were training on the indoor 4G pitch, you know, at eight o'clock at night, you know, after the under four boys had finished, you know.

And it wasn't even a full-sized pitch, you know.

Um, but I remember every single goal.

You know, every goal.

I think if we're being honest, it's kind of the team that we're going to be around in the table.

So that third, fourth, fifth placed area, so it's gonna be us, Hull, Widnes, um, maybe, maybe Nottingham.

They're, they're, they're, um, hard to predict as well.

Um, I think Solihull will be in kind of that bracket on their own.

...

I, I could not turn my back on, on Widnes because they're the ones that gave me the opportunity to play rugby league.

Welcome back to Brave, Bold, Brilliant, the podcast where we talk to incredible people about their experiences in business and in life, gaining that first-hand insight into how they've unleashed their potential to become brave, bold, and brilliant.

I'm Jeannette Linfoot, and whether we're sitting at the boardroom tables of big international businesses or exploring the exciting world of entrepreneurs, it's all about stepping up to the next level while staying true to yourself.

I mean, it's a bit hot overhead as well, right? I think sometimes the- these kind of decisions that come along.

Th- there was another one where I went played...

When I went rugby league, I went to Widnes, and Widnes put their faith in me.

You know, they said they'd did a g- great sales pitch on me saying I was the last piece of the jigsaw, um, and I would fit into their side perfectly.

I mean, I know, I know you see, see the championship and, you know, watched the program with Craig last night.

Widnes Vikings, perfect example against Oldham at the weekend.

Defense at this time of the season wins you games.

Uh, Widnes had no right to win that game, but they stood true, uh, uh, as, as a collective, and that's what Jim's done at Huddersfield.

He's tight- he's tightened that defensive effort up, and of course with the likes of, you know, certainly Harry Rushton, who's just been incredible, uh, during this period.

Um, and again, I said last night on Weekly Bill about Jussiem.

Then came where?

Is it Widnes?

Widnes feels like to me like our guys.

Yeah.

You know? That they, they play Prime Minister's XIII, they win a cup every now and then or something.

Corey Thompson played for Widnes.

Yeah.

Yeah.
