Joe Corrigan MBE

Congratulations Big Joe. My first City hero.

Here’s a little know tale involving Big Joe. City did some of their training at local sports centres in the early 80s. Big Joe saw a small, scruffy guy practising wrestling moves on the mats. Big Joe fancied a bit of that and offered to wrestle the smaller guy.

A few minutes later the bout is over and Big Joe is sporting a couple of black eyes, chipped teeth and a cauliflower arse. Joe didn’t know he was wrestling legendary British wrestler and Manchester hard man, Joey Gilligan. No lasting damage was done and the rest of the City lads had a good laugh.

FWIW, I did get Big Joe in the OSC AGM a couple of years ago when the security guards hadn’t recognised him. I explained big Joe was a City Legend and problem solved.
