KEEP THE FAITH

when we beat wigan in the challenge cup 26 16 think it was in 1996 after they had dominated it for donkies years

You're confusing it with a few seasons earlier, in the Peter Williams & David Cruikshank era, when we beat them in the league (not on TV) and in the Regal Trophy within the space of 3 weeks.

11th February 1996 was without doubt our finest hour since the 70's - ask any fan of another side, they all loved that one. I was working in Leeds at the time and after a few celebratory beers in Salford got a lift back to Leeds and arrived at the Skyrack in Headingley at 10:00. As me and a mate walked in, a chorus of 'Salford, Salford' was sung by around 50 lads, most of whom we did not know, but who were Lids & Bradfurd fans who were celebrating themselves. A memorable day indeed.

That & the first Grand Final win against Leigh. Last year, we knew it was all about the franchise. Back then, the whole future of the club depended on that game - I can honestly say I was dreading the match, just in case.

And finally, last Bank Holiday Monday. Hangover's galore, but all in a good cause

Wigan pos best since the 70's most memorable Halifax at Old Trafford

Beating Wigan in the Challenge Cup, after they had remained undeafeated in 9 years in the comp.

We were massive underdogs and I am sure Mr Andy Gregory was mamnger at the time

Same as for me really gotta be knocking Wigan out of the CC or winning the Premiership against Halifax at OT.

Has to be the 26-16 win over Wigan in the challenge cup for me too. The atmosphere in the shed was electric! My other fav was beating St Helens 46-26 (I think) with one Gary Broadbent scoring a hat trick. One other stand out game (even though we played crap - nothing new I know) was playing London Bronco's in the cup at Old Kingstonian's ground, We should have lost that one! But we scored two quick tries in the last two minutes.. I've never seen Salford fans so ecstatic after the final whistle

I'm definitely showing my age here, but in the 70s Leigh had a long winning streak, and Alex Murphy let it be known that he wouldn't get his hair cut until they got beaten. A few weeks later we beat them 15-5 at the Willows, and Murphy got stabbed in the head by a woman running at him with a pair of scissors (remember boys and girls, never run with a pair of scissors).

Ah, happy days...

I think it was in that season where Billy Burgess scored a try in the corner at Wilderspool to nick it against Warrington. Fantastic.

Has to be beating Wigan in the challenge cup.

Wigan 1996. I might just put the video of it on later
