That was Maine Road.

87 wasn't it not 89?

You sure? Maine Road was the Joe Lydon drop goal (CC Semi Final).
The one I'm on about was the Premiership Final and Lydon dribbled the ball down the field to score. Almost positive it was Old Trafford??

Premiership Trophy 1986/87. Against the pies. Should have won ...robbed.

Sorry, having read my original post back I can understand why the confusion. The one I'm on about was a try by Lydon, not the drop goal.

The one where Bob Eccles played the 2nd half with a broken arm.

Yeah think so. Remember it being a low scoring, highly charged affair played on a heavy pitch in awful weather. And feeling fortunate to have won it!

Surely this wasn't your last game at OT?

Was the Premiership final of '87.....My memories are as follows...

1. It poured down.

2. Wire had quite a weakened side.

3. For some reason, a majority of the Wire team had skinheads in the week running upto the game.

4. The game was pretty awful - Ended 8 or 9 nil, I think.

5. Biggest highlight for Wire was a legendary Dessie 'head' tackle on Lydon, which ended with the Wigan lothario ending up in the dugout, wondering what the fook had just hit him.

Overall, it was a bit of an anti-climax after the victory over Halifax 12 months earlier.

Perfectly good Gary Sanderson (iirc) try for offside being disallowed for offside (as proved by TV replay)

Good Luck boys!!!
