2013 GF. Was there with my mate and said at half time 'we've bombed so many chances, if we sort ourselves out we'll batter them'...and lo...

Two very different ones for me.

1. Walking into such an iconic staidium as the Nou Camp as a Wigan rugby league supporter was special.

2. Leeds away in last game of mission impossible.

Many many occasions . However TWO really stand out for me when I was there;

1) Wigan v Hull FC 1985 RL Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.

2) Wigan v Manly 1987 - Central park - World Club Challenge.

It's amazing how looking back most of my favourite moments don't involve winning a trophy. Here are a few of my favourites:

1. The entire 2010 season. I started following Wigan properly around 2003 when I was 10 years old so for so long I had got used to not seeing Wigan compete so to do what we did with just the addition of Deacon to the playing squad was phenomenal. Looking back maybe I remember 2010 being better than it actually was because that was when I left high school and I seem to remember a long, hot Summer of watching Wigan win practically every game.

2. Away at Warrington in the Challenge Cup in 2011, the atmosphere in the away end that day was like nothing I'd experienced before or since.

3. The play off win at Bradford in 2007. Unfortunately I couldn't go as I had my tonsils removed the day before but seeing Calderwood race away for that try got me up off the couch cheering with no voice.

4. Surviving in 2006, the way everyone got behind the team was phenomenal and the DW was bouncing every week.

5. Magic Weekend 2012. The weather was great and the performance against Saints was great.

6. Nou Camp in 2019. Admittedly the result was disappointing but it was a great weekend.

7. The 2018 Grand Final. It wasn't the best game but winning the Grand Final on my actual birthday was the best present I could have hoped for.

These are just memories off the top of my head but seeing them written down does make me realise how lucky we are to support this club.

Joe Lydon drop goal, Maine Rd.

This one is probably one of my earliest memories watching Wigan as a kid.

Just remember it being a really tight game and this drop kick just came out of nowhere, it was an absolute beast of a kick.

Wigan V Penrith is another one that stands out partly because of it being played at Anfield.

Special mention to the Quentin Pongia chip kick for Carney to score in the corner, possibly against Leeds or Saints?

1. 2010 Grand Final
2. 2006 Roller Coaster ride. How the heck that side struggled is down to 1 man.
3. 2007 Comeback against Bradford
4. 2013 Season we made it look easy
5. 2016 Walking out of Old Trafford wondering how did win the final after been poor that season.
6. 2011 lastinute Faz try against Saints place went nuts.

A Cheeky one Terry O'Connor scoring a try against Saints its awarded instantly only on the screens you see him drop it and laughs at it watching the screen.
