Quote: Jeff the God of Biscuits "Players who absolutely have to be in a 'Greatest 13'; Jim Sullivan, Billy Boston, Eric Ashton, Shaun Edwards, Ellery Hanley & Andy Farrell

The rest are all subjective, but those 6 players are the absolute best in their given position that Wigan have ever had.'"

Appreciate what your sayin but i would only ever put players in a best ever 13 if i had seen them play. So for me out of the 6 players mentioned only Edwards Farrell and Hanley would make the team.

Hope you don't mind me joining in. I've seen a lot of Wigan teams since mid 70s even though not a Wigan fan as such

My British team would be probably from a similar era, reflecting the strength of the team at the time.

1 Steve Hampson
2 Martin Offiah
3 David Stephenson
4 Gary Connolly
5 Jason Robinson
6 Sean Edwards
7 Andy Gregory
8 Kelvin Skerrett
9 Martin Dermott
10 Andy Platt
11 Andy Goodway
12 Andy Farrell
13 Ellery Hanley

I'm really torn on Sam v Radlinski v Hampson but I went for the toughest tackler and competitor as the attack was pretty well covered elsewhere
Denis Betts was unlucky not to get in too.

I would say though that the over seas team would give them a great game

1 Henry Paul
2 Pat Richards
3 Steve Ella
4 Gene Miles
5 Va'aiga Tuigamala
6 Brett Kenny
7 Adrian Lam
8 Greg Dowling
9 Thomas Leuluai
10 Adrian Shelford
11 Graeme West
12 Ian Roberts
13 Dean Bell

Notable exceptions that I had to drop
Kevin Iro
Steve Renouf
Harrison Hansen(!)

A combined team would be really difficult to decide.

Quote: fleabag "Billy Boston also liked the ale a bit. Not as 'bad' as Greg thankfully. (John Ferguson even had a cigarette immediately after the 1985 Wembley win while he was still on the pitch.)

I can remember being at Odsal years ago. They used to walk from the top down to the pitch. Billy had had a couple of pints before the match. We still won !'"


Would that be the 1955/56 Cup Semi Final against Halifax at Bradford, it was alleged that Billy was seen outside the ground about 20 min before the kick off. Wigan lost 11-10 with Billy scoring one of the trys.

The week after the match Billy was suspended and placed on the transfer list, he never played again that season.

Possibly icon_wink.gif
But I always thought he had skills. He wasn't the fastest but I thought he could put a guy away.
I'll bow to a Wigan lad knowledge though.
