The state of that team

Best Game....difficult this as there has been so many, but I have to go for the 27 - 0 game v Saints at Wembley in 1989. After being there and seeing us beaten by them in 1961 and 1966 it was special. No matter what Saints speccies tell you that score hurts more than anything in their history.



Worst Game....April 11th 1980, Castleford away lost 13 - 21. Th game that sent us down to the second division.



Best Player....Boston. There are not enough superlatives to describe him, no matter how hard anyone tries. All those lucky enough to have seen him pull on that famous cherry and white jersey should thank God for that privilege.



Best Atmosphere....Manly at Central Park. Even supporters from other teams were there that night willing us on. We didn't get back to Billinge until almost midnight.



Favourite Game... As a Rugby League supporter no doubt. Being in Melbourne June 26th 1992. Australia 10 Great Britain 33.



Eight Wigan players, Offiah, Edwards and the Wigan six pack Skerrett, Dermott, Platt, Betts, McGinty and Clarke.

Opposition speccies (British) deriding that pack, then coming to us after the game shaking our hands "Your lads did us proud"



The conga in the rain around Princess Park. Singing "always look on the bright side of life" to the Aussies, who looked on in disbelief. The look on Billy McGintys face when he was subbed as he saw the conga, and the all night part after.

Getting on the coach next morning to the airport to fly up to the Gold Coast and seeing men pouring lager on their cornflakes.



PRICELESS.

i cant really compete with that Brian in my 5 years but here goes



Best Game(s)



The 50-26 Playoff win in Perpignan september 08, there couldnt have been 2 wigan fans that walked past each other that day, just a great atmosphere and a fabulous performance from the team!



The Win at Murrayfield May 09 was special too aswell as the playoff wins at Odsal and Hull in 07.



Worst Game(s)



The Quins home game in apr 06 was dire, i remember everyone watching as Mclindens kick was allowed to bounce and then he recaught it and scored.

The 2 semis ve catalan and Warrington 07 and 09 respectively were low points too.

Stood on the Spion Kop as a young lad. Wigan are losing to Leeds. Wigan are attacking with minutes to go. I am saying my prayers that we will score. Mick Sullivan scores in the corner. Game won. Bring back memories to anyone?



best player. No doubt. Ellery Hanley.



Favourite player = Dean Bell

Yep, and Punchy Griffiths kicked the goal from the touchline to give us a

14 - 11 win. I was stood on the wall on the 25 at the Kop end Douglas side that day.

Best game -

Manly 87

Hull Wembley 85

Saints away - putting 65 past them at KR when they were reigning champs i think

Saints away 2004 i think, being 22-0 down in no time, - enter Luke Robinson.

Rads last minute home to Bradford



Worst

For me conceding 57 at Cardiff against Saints was worse then the 75-0.

Wembley 98 was bad

2001 GF, just never turned up.



Best atmosphere

Manly 87 again, but recently Hull away in 2007 playoffs was pretty good.

Best moment for me - Challenge Cup final in 2002 simply because we were written off by all of the media and for Rads's performance.



Favourite player - Mean Dean



Gutsiest performance - Shaun Edwards against Warrington in the 1990 Challenge Cup final, but Rads in the 2002 Challenge Cup final and Faz's "Phantom of the Opera" impersonation against Leeds when he got his nose plastered across his face have to come a close second.



Worst performance - Can I nominate Eddie and Stevo in the commentary booth?!?!

Great couple of days those, I remember someone singing 'Flower of Scotland' in the Prix bar, cant think who started that !!!!, and what about that landing at Liverpool airport....







That was the game I chose ( v Quins ), as bad a performance I've seen from any Wigan side, I was convinced we would be relegated that day, then Noble and Fielden came and things picked up.

I was in the opposite end to the Stretford End. There were Saints fans in the seats above the terraced section where the Wigan fans were. Some bloke in his 40's was absolutely wasted & spent much of the half-time break trying to climb up the wall to get to them. The police started out trying to stop him & then just stood there laughing at him

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Best Game - wigan vs manly - the aussies were so confident they thought it would be a walk in the park..... a run out.... graham lowe deliberatly put an all english team out..... and we sent the aussies back home with should i say tail between their legs... and they did not like it one bit ..





Best Moment - brett kennys class try at wemberly 85 just ran as fast as he needed to never hit full speed... pure class moment eay french and alex murphy were having fits in the bbc commentry room on tele



most electric player - john ferguson - unbelievable.... it got to the stage with him that if we were in trouble give fergie the ball and he would score for us....very strong and elusive player....



Best Player - ellery hanly



most skillfull - brett kenny - had everything again another one who if things were going wrong everyone in the crowd would expect him to do his magic.



Best Atmosphere - gotta be manly - nothing else comes close



Worst Moment - realising our great cup run was over.

Pretty much sums it up 100%.



For those who haven't seen it, watch the John Fergusson try in the 1985 cup final. He took a looping pass from Ian Potter (no pace on it at all) from a standing start, shimmied and went around the winger. Sheer class (as Stevo might say).

I like bum love!!
