I noticed members of the 1987 Wigan team who beat Manly being introduced to the crowd and given their medals before the game last Sunday.
There appeared to be 9 men and 2 ladies on the pitch taking the applause. Now, I definitely recognised Hanley, Gill, Case, Stephenson, Gregory and Gildart. I think one of the other 3 men may have been Lucas, but I have no idea on the other characters; although I suppose one of the ladies may have been a post-op Edwards .
Can anyone name the ex players and ladies who were there.

The ladies were Waney and Hampo's daughters, collecting their medals on their behalf. |

Thanks .......... so where were Lydon, Kiss, Potter, West and Edwards ? I believe Goodway now lives in Queensland, so probably too far to travel.

At the game were Ged Byrne, Richard Russell, Andy Gregory, Ian Gildart, Brian Case, Ellery Hanley, David Stephenson, Henderson Gill and Ian Lucas (as well Wane and Hampson's daughters).
Missing (from the pic in the Observer anyway) were Joe Lydon, Shaun Edwards, Nicky Kiss, Andy Goodway, Ian Potter and Graeme West.

Dwayne was there on behalf of Westy but for some reason did not go onto the pitch and was not in the pic. He just stayed on the sidelines

Wasps had a game on the same day, which is presumably why Edwards couldn't make it. |

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.
Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"
'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'
'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'

I believe Graeme had an airport run.  |

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 |

Potter was the best ever tackler for Wigan IMHO.
