| Quote: WIGAN FOREVER "21 years on, the thought of Ellery Hanley putting Andy Goodway in under the posts in the last minute of the Challenge cup semi final at Old Trafford still brings a smile to my face.
Against St Helens as well. Sublime.'"
Agreed, scoreboard end behind the sticks, can remember it as though it was yesterday. | | |

No mate, but I also haven't forgotten the majority of games when he was uninspiring and absent. Yes ok, the players around him may not have been the best, but that's no excuse for a so-called God as most Wigan fans have painted him.

[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

| Quote: nickcat0 "Quote: nickcat0 "The challenge cup semi final in (I think) 1990 or 1992 at Old Trafford against Saints.
The game was locked at 8-8, when Hanley did one of his weaving runs, and handed the ball to Andy Goodway, who went in under the posts.
As per usual, the Saints fans swore blind the pass was forward (it wasn't) and still do to this day, which makes the win even more sweet.'"
It was 1990, and the score was 14-14 ............ if you can't even get those basic facts correct, how do you expect us to trust your judgement on whether the pass was forward or not.
Fortunately, if you can be bothered to get out your old video tapes (yes, the match was before the invention of dvd, kids ) ; then the pass can be proved to be a forward pass.
In one of the few facts you recalled correctly, the match was at Old Trafford, and the soccer markings were still visible.......... Hanley released the ball about one yard outside the soccer penalty area, and as Goodway caught it, his feet are on the line marking the edge of the box, and the ball is in front of him (i.e. inside the box) .......... hence the ball must have travelled forward.'"
oooOOOOOoooooo! Touched a nerve, did we?  | | | |

Funnily enough, I watched this match as a neutral, back then I alternated between watching Saints, Wigan and Widnes ........... and as Goodway was my favourite player I was delighted this was awarded. It wasn't until 1993 that I decided to pin my colours to a single team.'"
Oh god, she gets worse. | | |

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

Good Friday, still got it on sky+ and watch the last 5-10 mins regularly.
Bradford away - my dad wanted us to go and I said no, think we'll get beat, I'll watch it on telly (shame). At half time I thought, at well at least I've saved some cash, at full time I was thinking "I can't believe I didn't go". Thats the only game where as soon as it had finished, I just pressed play and watched it again immediately afterwards thinking, did this just happen. (Sadly I deleted this off sky!)
Another one that sort of sticks in the memory for me for some reason and perhaps some of the older fans is a 15-14 victory away at Fulham in the early 80's. Colin Whitfield won the game with a last gasp drop goal at Craven Cottage.
