Lancashire cup semi final under the lights v Widnes....Epic game with the great Greg Mackey pulling the strings.

I know we lost, but one of my most underlying memories of the past was the 1982 Challenge Cup game at Home v Hull. The stadium was packed out, the Wire nut cases were all assembled below the main stand as close to the away fans as they could get.
We had about 5 tries disallowed by the other Black and White that day. Cracking game of RL Football. Pitch invasion at the end.

Yes that game...5 tries disallowed. The worst call by Billy Thompson was saying Phil Ford had run out of the field while rounding to get nearer the sticks!!
Billy Thompson got a police escort off the pitch...they should have carried on to Arply Street Station!
But it was in 1983...it was the 82/83 season.

We were completely and utterly robbed that day. |

No we weren't robbed...What happened that day was much worse than that. Even Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask when he was robbing people!! |

| Quote: sally cinnamon "Nostalgia allows you to be selective about special memories. The reason the WWIII game has gone down in to legend is because of Cullen smashing Goodway. If he hadn't done that, we'd have probably won the game but it would have been forgotten about just like the two times we beat Wigan that season.
The next generation of Wire fans will have their own memories of special games at Wilderspool with a legendary atmosphere
LOL How old do you think I am. I was still young and impressionable in 97. ![]()
Winners 90/1,
Beaten Finalists 86/7 94/5
Challenge Cup
Beaten Finalists 89/90
Premiership
Winners 85/86
Beaten Finalists 86/87
Lancs Cup
Winners 80/81, 82/83, 89/90
Beaten Finalists 85/86, 87/88
So not as if we were devoid of any success during that period, making 11 finals. It's the period 1995-2009 that was barren.
Any how which HWJ games stick in your memory?

.....winning £500+ when Dwyer scored the only try.
Springs to mind.
The game was shat though.
