1) My first ever Wembley - Going in to Wigan to get the coach at the old gas showrooms and seeing everyone decked out in cherry and white.
2) Seeing the Hull coaches merging onto the M1 and exchanging friendly gestures!
3) Getting my first glimpse of the twin towers
4) Getting almost crushed, covered in beer and carried forward every time we scored - never known anything like it at a rugby match.
5) Looking at my watch and praying for the hooter in the dying seconds - I'm still convinced that we would have lost had the game gone on for another couple of minutes.
This was the game that kick started my love for Wigan rugby league at the age of 14. I watched the video more times than I care to remember and knew the commentary almost off by heart.
Big Westy stood next to the trophy signing autographs in John Menzies.
I'm not sure in which order it was but I remember the football team winning a cup final, probably the autoglass trophty, then the rugby team won the CC and then the start of the 10 years of domination. I wonder if that could happen again.....I'm sure the football team could qualify for the equivalent of the autoglass trophy the season after this
Great Final,will never forget it,Ray and Murph quality commentary,"I WISH BET HULL, I BET WISH HULL, I BET HULL WISH he had his hands in his pockets now,(Brett Kenny)
