1.Manly – just for the sheer atmosphere and magnitude of the game. Watched this back a couple of months ago, and anyone who says the Aussies don’t care about this game are completely incorrect.

2. 27-0 - enough said.

3. GF 2010 – the re-emergence of the sleeping giant?

Brisbane is probably our greatest achievement, but alas I didn’t go.

Manly 1987 has to be my all time favourite especially given that only a few years earlier the Wigan club was at its lowest level ever in Division 2!. The resurgence to 2010 and maybe 2011 as WCC winners following the near disaster in 2007 feels very similar.

However, I also remember, as a 9 year old with my Dad, watching Wigan beating the Australian national touring side at Central Park in Oct 1967. What a night that was! The kop end was a sea of cherry and white flags wihch I guess was a result of fans accumulating them during a decade of trips to Wembley. Sadly my Dad died two years before I was able to share the Manly moment with him and so 1968 was special. Little did I know at the time that Wigan were about to enter a decade of decline resulting in relagation and that it would be the last major moment in Wigan's history that I would share with my dad. The moral of the story is, enjoy the good moments when come along as though its your last.

my favourite moment has to be that comeback at bradford in 2007, i didn't actually go to the game but i have great memories of watching this with my grandad in his living room, jumping up and down like right mad heads when richards knocked that drop goal over!

I'd have to agree with that, all I remember from the end of it is going absolutely ape $hit when Hape knocked on. For me, that was one of the first 'I was there' games I went to.

I was only 7 at the time, but I can remember the 94 Brisbane game. Having the day off and watching it with my mate before watching it again with my Dad when he got home from work.

Wembley 1965 v Hunslet, first time I saw us win the CC.

Wembley 1985 v Hull, 20 year wait finally over.

Manly 1987, again making history.

Wembley 1989 v St Helens, does it get better than 'nilling' Saints at Wembley.

Grand Final 1998 v Leeds, first winner's yet again.

Grand Final 2010 v St Helens, a day I'll never forget.

1983 JPS Final -couldn't believe we'd actually won something,( i started to watch Wigan when they was in the 2nd div)
1984 York c.c semi - had sleepless nights the week leading upto it i was only 15 at the time, felt sick before the game but the elation knowing that we was going to wembley was something that i will never forget.
1985 Hull cc final - Unbelievable day
1987 Manly - got on the ground at 4pm and there were 20,000 on then, still is the best atmosphere i've ever been in, the hairs are standing up even now as i think about it.
1989 Saints cc final - nothing needs ot be said about this, the greatest and most satisfying day ever.
There have been lots more since then but the above are my top five and sum up for me just exactly what it means to support the mighty Wigan

Il pick 3
Wembley 85 the first game i ever went to as a 9 year old
WCC 94 possibly the best WCC win ever against all the odds
Grand final 2010 when we finally got back to the top
(though 89 final was a great day )

Didn't go in 98, so I guess last year was special.

Keighley A 1978 1st pint of TT's (Thanks to Bilko's season history, can never remember the year)

JPS Final 1983 V Leeds, we are back and you can smell the promised land

Wembley 1985 v Hull, the promised land

Manly 1987, best game & night ever.

Wembley 1989 v St Helens, the great nil final!!

Grand Final 1998 v Leeds, first winner's yet again.

Ch Cup v UTC 2002, 1st trip to France to watch the boys.

Brisbane 1994, best game I've watched on telly!

Grand Final 2010 v St Helens, Bringing It All Back Home.

I dodnt think anyone has mentioned this..

but the last ever game at Central Park was a great day and a fitting way to send off the old ground.

June 1st 1994. Wigan's greatest ever win. Winning the WCC against Brisbane in their own back yard. A feat never to be repeated by an English club.

the great escape season.

all of it...........the low at Cas on a freezing sunday afternoon, followed by the fog at odsal the following friday..........through to the leeds game at headingley.

we fought back from the dead that season.......just getting there , RFL deducted us points........and they still couldnt keep us down

3 games stick in my mind

1985 CC- fantastic game of RL, skill on display and tension to the end. Also made up for the previous year and the journey back home.

1987 Manly - The atmosphere was electric. I was playing rugby the same evening and all I could think of was "I wish this game was over", the build up was awesome.


There was one CC Semi Final at Old Trafford. I can't actually remember who it was against (Stains I think) and we scored right at the end (was it Goodway or Hanley?). Tbh the surge from the crowd was such that all I knew is that we had scored.

Horrible to lose in a semi, but to win in that way was fantastic.
