| Quote: GingerWiganer "Ive recently purchased a 1980s era Wigan Rugby League shirt (One too add to my many collections) and on the back of the shirt is the number 6. I have reason to believe the shirt is from the 1984/1985 era in which we used against Hull in the challenge cup.
Could anybody confirm who the number 6 stands for and what era it is from
many thanks.

It's not from the challenge cup. They had 3/4 sleeves. Kenny was the stand off for some of '85
Count to number of cherry hoops on it's sleeve compared to the number of cherry hoops on the kenny shot in 'the surgeons' link above. |

| Sorry to disappoint but I'd be very surprised if it was a players shirt at all particularly with a 40" chest.
That being said, you've got a classic Wigan shirt for £26  |

The length of sleeves were a players personal choice. In that final the forwards wore long sleeves, and Edwards wore short sleeves.
Type 1985 challenge cup final into utube and see.
i dont think the OP thought it was a players shirt. |

I can confirm it isn't the Kenny cup final shirt. My mum won that in the late 80's at an event organised by Colin Clarke. Being but a foolish child I wore it to train in and it some how got lost. Regret it to this day!

Edwards infact used to tear the sleeves off short. Check the 85 video and you'll see there's no hem on his shirt. |

Great find and a bargain at £26. If it ever 'loosens up' I'll buy it off you  |

Can't you just stretch it around a three piece suite that should work.

It isn't a players shirt, its an Umbro replica.

Andy Gregory used to do something with his shirt sleeves as well. It looked like he rolled them up inside, but he perhaps tore them off as well ?
Mind you Greg had arms like Popeye !
