Congratulations to Wiggo. Hopefully we find his something to do at the club.

Congrats Wiggo! Absolutely love the bloke.

My enduring memory of him is (going off memory here, apologies if the details are incorrect) R17 2008 against the Bullies. Kicked 4 in a milestone game and singlehandedly kept us in it before we staged a great comeback.

Judd even mentioned 'The Wig is Big in '08' is his after match interview. Interestingly, I was expecting that to be a big thing, especially on this site, however it didn't get much legs from memory :grin:

All the best for the future Wiggo.

Well done Chief... All the best...

May not have had the talent like some but had a huge ticker...

I believe you when you said you touched that Peter Riccardi kick after the siren at the dome in 2002...

Absolutely loved his 100th game and his sheer joy of getting his name on the locker

a true clubman, thanks Wiggo for the memories

Good on the field, good on the dance floor.

Vale.

Shame we couldn't combine Grigg's body with Wiggo's heart.

Hope he sticks around :thumbsup:

Thanks for all your efforts, Simon.

Didn't get to play in 2010, with his last game in 2009 - a last game shared with 3 other Blues. Can you name them?

Hopefully we won't find a role at the club for him, then he can continue to be loved rather than hated.

if half of the players had the heart and work ethic of this man, we would be playing in a GF last weekend.

oustanding club man, who made the best out of his opportunities. hope he goes onto a very successful post football career, in whatever field he so chooses :-)

well done chief
