    I will be pi**ed off if they don't mention it, after hearing about 2 years worth of Benny Westwood's 39 you know.

    Updated. I Just had a look on the Sky website and they have an article about Robes, so can't see them not mentioning it.

    Thought Roby deserves a new song to celebrate 500 appearance milestone.... "goes by the name of " is old and obvious copy of Rooney version.

    So as a suggestion. To the chorus of Made of stone .. by Stone Roses.. Helps if you know the tune and have it playing.

    Sometimes iiii... fantasiiies
    Our captains name is Roby.. and hes f***in scared of nobede.. ('knowbody')
    Sets up trysss Hates the piesss
    Our captains name is Roby.. and hes f***in scared of nobede
    And just so you knowwww ... hes a saint from Knowsley Road

    Hopefully will resonate with saints fans of a certain vintage.. COYS

    Huge congratulations to him, to play 500 games in his position on the field is an incredible achievement and shows both his physical and mental toughness. It's sad that he didn't have a full stadium to do it in front of but it's been a privilege watching his career and hopefully we'll all be there to see his 600th game.

    I wonder if he is the all time super league great for metres and tackles made. Wello just mentioned that Roby has made over 22500 tackles at around 45 tackles per game.

    James Roby to have played 500 games with the minutes he puts in must make him a Saints legend. He is also a true gentleman who will always remember he was born, bred and made he St Helens. A one club man.
    Well done James.

    Career stats would be interesting.
    No matter how good is stats are, they will never do justice to the affect and impact he has brought to the field.

    I most certainly was not. I just don't suffer fools, add tiredness and 3 large rums into the mix and that tolerance gets even lower.
