This gunky 's all clunky.
Heeey, you guyyys! It’s official: the man known only as Chunk (as printed just above his belly button) is PWU’s Lucky Mascot of the Week. And possibly next week’s too, but we’ll see what happens in the forthcoming season re-opener against QPR on Friday. If Wigan lose, he shall most likely be forgotten about, but a win will not only secure him an automatic seat (or three) on that coach down to the capital, but also a place in Latics history alongside ‘believe’ and the JJB pigeon they nicknamed ‘Homer’.
Also in this edition, PWU’s Player of the Season receives his award as part of an extravagant end-of-season dinner… at Jim’s Chippy. He wouldn’t tell Barry where he lives, though, so we can assume he had to walk the 500-odd miles from Spain to north west England. I reckon we should club together and buy him a bike to ensure he extends his contract for at least another season!
