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 |

Disagree, and I go back to the days of Jackie Cunliffe, Fred Griffiths, Colin Tyrer, George Fairbairn etc etc. Sam is the most complete fullback I have ever seen at Wigan, certainly the most exciting/entertaining and the one who put most fear into the opposition. Just my opinion of course

Would have included the likes of Edwards, Offiah and skerrett, but just don't really remember them playing for us, wanted to judge from who I've seen live and not past games on YouTube.

Very hard to leave out Connolly, Craig Smith, O'loughlin, Henry Paul, O'Connor, Hock, Bateman and Gilmour who i think was vastly under rated and Wigan should never of let go.
Haughton is in there because for all of his faults in defence he was the most devastating wide running forward ive ever seen and he could even do it against the Aussies. He could break the line even against the toughest defence
