We are delighted to announce that Wigan Warriors will be supporting the Terry Newton State of Mind Dinner on Saturday 14 September.
The event, sponsored by KHD Brokk Hire Ltd and FBW Engineering, will be held in the Heatable South Stand Lounge at The Brick Community Stadium and will get underway at 6pm.
Hosted by Pete Emmett, the evening will feature a range of special guests, music from ‘One Vision’ and a two-course meal.
The night will be dedicated to the memory of rugby league legend Terry Newton, who tragically took his own life in 2010, with proceeds from the event going to State of Mind to help fund our work in breaking the stigma that surrounds mental health in sports clubs, schools and businesses.
Wigan Warriors chief executive Kris Radlinski said: “Terry was such an important figure in the club’s history and all our lives. He became a cultural icon for his commitment and passion for the sport and the team.
“He was such a great guy to have on the field and to be in the changing room with. He left an eternal impression on our hearts and souls.
“To have a night of remembrance for him and to share some wonderful stories with his beloved teammates, and in the company of his family will be truly special.”

I will be there with members of my family to support this dinner dedicated to the memory of Terry Newton. I vividly recall writing an original article about Terry which was seen by Dr Phil Cooper and he contacted both me and Malcolm Rae. The rest is history. I’m looking forward to the night as it will be an honour to be there.
