| I was thirteen at the time and remember how upset I was the year before when we played Widnes. I was convinced Brett Kenny was going to tear KR apart but if I recall correctly, he had one of his worst games in a Wigan shirt (cruncher you may correct me) and it was Graeme West who was outstanding that day.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

Bradford in the Challenge Cup semi when Dean Bell got injured early on.

| One of my most memorable Wigan games. West's break came from a 22m tap if I recall.
Bizarrely, the thing that sticks most in my mind is Russ Abbot's "Oh What an Atmosphere" playing at the end of the game (truly one of the worst songs ever)

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Is that it? If it was then we won the lot - I certainly can't remember losing there???? IIRC!
