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



Quote: Bruce_Forsyth "Do Wigan fans do anything other than pat themselves on the back over their support?
Go on then, tell us what Wigan average crowd was for that season, and then tell us how it compared with ALL the other clubs particularly the ones in the first division.

The last match at CP was awesome. Very glad to be there.

The Brian Carney tackle on Sullivan that saved the game at Stains. It looked like he'd NO chance of stopping him, but he did. Easy enough to find on YouTube if you need reminding.

The Farrell / Renouf / Radlinski try-scoring move that had us 1 point behind at full time with the kick to come against Bradford. Think that was in 2000, if memory serves. Again, YouTube for the win.

And the 2007 play-off was an unbelievable comeback.

Let's also remember the Farrell "Phantom of the Opera" performance against Leeds. It was performances like that that crowned him the greatest player Super League has ever seen, even in the eyes of the Stains-loving duo Eddie & Stevo.

Playing at Central Park before the first team is something i will never forget, i must of been about 12years old and we were playing on a full size pitch against Halton Hornets.

I can still remember walking out of the tunnel at Central Park absolutley bricking it and our best player Terry Newton was missing that day as he had trials for the town team.

Still got the match on video.

Also remember St.Marys primary school allowing the class to go down to Central Park to wish the team good luck before they set off for Wembley, a few days later a member of the team would pop into class with the Challenge Cup...usually Shaun Edwards.

v Leeds JPS Trophy at Elland Rd - first thing I'd ever seen Wigan win after my Dad telling me all about the glory years in the 50's and 60's
V Hull KR at CC Semi Final at Elland Rd - after the Widnes final I though it would be ages before we got back to Wembley again
v Manly - enough said
v Saints at Edinburgh - first thing my kids had seen Wigan win after me telling them all about the glory days in the 80's and 90's
v Saints at OT 2010

The 85 Cup Final. Truly the greatest cup final ever.

The 1986 tour match against the Aussies. Sterling, Kenny, Lewis, Miles - what a bunch players and although we lost we didn't half give 'em a game. I'll never forget Nick du Toit swatting away Noel Cleal like he was an annoying fly.

Last year's final - the early hours of the morning, Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. Yours truly wrapped up in a sleeping bag watching the game on a laptop. Best morale boost ever.
