Someone posted old photos of Wigan town centre on another site that I came across and it made me think about some classic photos out there relating to Wigan RL.

Just wondered if there were any great photos I hadn't seen. What are people's most iconic/favourite photo that is Wigan RL related?

I have one from another site of Billy B going over against Cas away in the late 50s and it seems impossible for a player who as been brushed of to finish up in such a crumpled position without being seriously injured. The problem is I don't know how to post it if I cant find a link.

The one I always remember though is a Wigan v Hunslet match at CP and Billy is going over in the corner and the photo shows the Hunslet scrum half in the background suspended in an horizontal position about a yard off the ground with his head and neck disappearing into his shoulders such was the weight behind Billies handoff. This was an iconic photo brought up for years, but sadly no more.

But one which is one of RL folklore is not just for Wigan it is the one of the Wolfs Wall, a true classic for future RL generations.

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

There was an old thread on here with loads of great ones.

The Central Park tunnel shot posted by Cronus makes me wish we still played there.

What's the rumpus, Tom? [quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png

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

I love this one - it's excellent for several reasons but HH's expression in particular takes me straight back to the moment when I knew we'd done the Double.

WJ Boston scoring I think in the 1960 Championship Final versus Wakefield and an old feller running onto to pitch in celebration. Natural and full of smiling faces!

Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Do you still wear the same flat cap?
Yes I do, but in those days I used to use plenty of Brilliantine to stop it blowing off, these days I use that stuff that Wigan players have sprayed on their hands to stop them dropping the ball in order to stop my cap blowing off.

It doesn't work for them and it doesn't work for me either. icon_surprised.gifops:
