Jonah! Watch your legs!

Tony Dinning - Psychopath
Crewe Alexandra top scorer Steve Jones will have to watch himself on Saturday as Wigan Athletic roll into town with a Pitbull Terrier foaming at the mouth ready to pounce on his next victim.

Tony Dinning’s unprovoked attack on the Ulsterman in March last year was two-footed, high and from behind. It nearly snapped poor Jonah’s leg, and it was right in front of Eddie ‘cataracts’ Wolstenholme who scandalously only booked the deranged madman.

Dinning has been on loan at Walsall for a month on the back of reported gambling and drinking problems as well as many arguments with Paul Jewell. Even the Wigan fans cannot really stand him these days, with Middlesbrough midfielder Stuart Downing lined up to replace him.

Nevertheless, Dinning is expected to be part of Saturday’s squad for ‘ Whelan’s whores.’
