Ex-Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson delivered an 'epic' team talk before Wigan's Super League Grand Final win, reveals head coach Matt Peet.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson presented jerseys to the Wigan Warriors players in the run-up to their Grand Final triumphFormer Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson delivered an "epic" team talk in the run-up to Wigan's historic Super League Grand Final win against Hull KR, revealed head coach Matt Peet.
"Obviously Sir Alex's side played at Old Trafford, the fact he spent his career developing homegrown talent and with his mentality, we thought he was the perfect person. "It goes in number order and mine was skipped - I thought it got rearranged or something, I didn't know what was going on," said French, 28.
The idea to bring over French's family came about due to the motivational videos his uncle Shannon sends to the stand-off, which became a feature of team meetings over the course of the season. "Kris Radlinski pulled me to one side and said, 'I think we should bring him over'. Keeping it from Bevan was obviously a challenge."Wigan began their quadruple-winning season with victory over Penrith Panthers in the World Club Challenge, but it is unlikely the international fixture between the Super League champions and National Rugby League winners will take place again in 2025.
