Wilderspool 1966 - Pretty sure it was against Oldham but I was only 6.
Wire won I do remember that, Bobby Greenhough was my childhood hero and I was really pleased to see he's been inducted into the club Hall of Fame recently. Not before time.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Cracking player, it's just a pity about Jackie Edwards injury, they would have made a fantastic half back combination. |

Same for me, that one, at least it's the match I remember. Had been going previously as a nipper with my Dad but this was the first match that captured my imagination as a 6 year old. Snared ever since.

| Quote: lister "1993 against Halifax at home when I was 10, a night game where the floodlights went out for over 20 minutes. I had been going to Warrington Town games before with my neighbours but that night they invited me to the Rugby.
I still loved the game even though it was cold and we were standing around in the dark for a bit of the night. I bought a season ticket for £10 the day after and have been buying a season ticket ever since, I never have gone back to watch Warrington Town.'"
Jonathon Davies scored one of the best tries Ive ever seen in this game. Picked the ball up on th ehalf way, beat a couple of men with changes of pace, chipped over the defensive line and won the race to the ball in the scoreboard corner. STill got the DVd of the tries from that season. Any younger fans who want to see a great team and some outstanding tries could do far worse then watch the DVd from this season.
Anyway i digress, 1st game Warrington v Leeds January 1975 Won 15-5. |

v Bradford Northern at Wilderspool in Challenge Cup. We lost.
1985 or 86, can't remember. But can remember John Woods and Terry Holmes being outstanding for them.

Wire V Huddersfield
Rob smyths debut i think

| Early 90's, cant remember the exact year. Don't really remember much of the game but was sat in Bevan stand. It was against Sheffield and we lost.  Went a few more games after that using the vouchers the Warrington Guardian used to do for some games. Started going more regularly in 97 and rest is history. |

Well done for sticking with! This was a dark day. Im sure that was "DVDV OUT" post game sit in match too.
Quote: The Jigga Jigga "Huddersfield-Sheffield recorded only their third victory of the season, thanks to an amazing comeback against Warrington.
The former Wigan winger Rob Smyth made a remarkable debut for Warrington, scoring four tries in the opening 24 minutes as they led 20-0, but finished on the losing side after an astonishing collapse. The Giants pulled a try back before the interval through Dale Cardoza and scored 38 points without reply in the second half to win 44-24.'" |

Don't remember too much about it, but 1967 v Whitehaven, then a few weeks later against Widnes, for the latter game standing on the old Spion Kop.
