Me and my mate were walking down the beach in Malaga a couple of years ago, wearing our wire shirt, when an old bloke, obviously from Cumbria/Yorkshire way was squinting and paying attention to our club badge on the jersey……..to which his wife “said who is it?”… “the wolves??” he said to us…………to which we replied…….”NO – we’re the Wires !!!”

Almost a pointless story – but what made the scene complete was when he did that thing that old fella’s do……..where they tilt there head to one side, towards you – then nod there heads slightly, in recognition…..and then come out with “good lads” !!!!! haha

Almost?

Theres more than a few Wire tops scattered across North Wales. I've seen them in Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno etc...

North Wales should be renamed 'Little Warrington', I've always thought.
I've never failed to see someone from Warrington, either in a jersey or that I recognised from the town, on my many, many jaunts there.

I was watching one of those crappy SkyHolidays shows t'other week and they were in Portugal, I think, on a beach and they did that thing where they shove a camera into the faces of the tourists and demand their opinions on the place. One bloke they asked was wearing the '95 centenary shirt.
Scruffy Swear Filter, I thought, as that top must've be 13 years old at the time.
