All time greatest game you have witnessed watching Wigan?
Tricky one, but I would say Murrayfield this year. As my Gran died the last time we beat them (2007) I had technically waited 5 years to enjoy that win. Other than that - Brisbane 94 but as I watched that on tv I don't count it.

The worse game you have ever witnessed watching Wigan?
The 70-0 and 75-0 week hurt, but Celtic this season was more embaressin imo

All time greatest player you have witnessed wearing the Cherry and White?
Shaun Edwards

The best crowd atmosphere you have heard?
The last min win over Bradford. The roar when the Faz kick went over was awesome

All time greatest game you have witnessed watching Wigan?
Dunno about great but my favourite game ever was rlBradford 18 Wigan 30 at Odsal in June 2000rl when we ended Bradford's 31 match unbeaten run at Odsal and Neil Cowie scored a drop goal. Great win on sunny Friday Night.

The worst game you have ever witnessed watching Wigan?
rlWakefield 10 Wigan 8 at Belle Vue in May 2006rl. "Wigan have their Testicles in a Blender" I wrote after that game. Genuinely thought that was relegation sealed when Paaat knocked on trying to score to win the game in the last minute. I should have known though Maurice would cheat his way out of trouble though.

All time greatest player you have witnessed wearing the Cherry and White?

Kel Skerrett was my hero from a great era when Props had to fight as well as graft. But he wasn't great I suppose. Rads it has to be then. He had nothing to prove but still came out of retirement to try and keep us up in 2006 for nothing. His contribution was

The best crowd atmosphere you have heard?
Any derby game really - home or away. Too difficult to pick between them.

So many to choose from
Manly v Wigan
Hull v Wigan CC 85
Brisbane v Wigan

The worst game you have ever witnessed watching Wigan?
Even though we won, the CC game a few seasons ago against UTC was shocking. DV at fullback *shudders*.
Wigan v Sheffield CC final.

All time greatest player you have witnessed wearing the Cherry and White?
In order
Hanley
Kenny
Gregory

[sizeHanley will always be top, but if you ask me tomorrow the other 2 may be different. We've had so many.[/size

Oh yeah that was a slit your wrists night. I'd rather have lost than gone to extra time and losing would have been far, far, far less embarrassing than the next round!

That night was the start of the awful 13 months that followed.

Dreadful, dreadful game. Without checking your site, I'd guess that we had about 4/5 different fullbacks in the space of 6 weeks.

Chris Melling, David Vaealiki, Kevin Brown, Dennis Moran and Sean Gleeson all had a go in a nine match spell that included three games in the middle for Rads. Brett Dallas ended up playing their regular towards the end of the season.

Best Game - The comeback 2007 vs Bradford, Catalans at home late 2006 the turning point to keeping us up I thought plus any game at CP.

Best Moment
- Renouf putting Rads in to get to GF or Richards DG vs Bradford 2007. Also the signing of Fielden is up there too, its just a shame he turned out to be a pudding.

Best Player
- Andy Farrell

Best Atmosphere - Central Park otherwise Saints (Good Friday) 2001Worst Moment - Castleford 2006 it was then the threat of relegation really hit home for me or 75-0. We can banish that demon one day with 76-0 (Take note MM) icon_wink.gif

My favourite Wigan moment has to be Wembley 1988. It the first time I went to Wembley and I was only 5 years old. My dad took me along with my two sisters and my mum. I remember the day after when the players came back to Wigan more than the game.

In recent times it has to be beating Saints at Wembley in 2002. I remember walking on to the ground that day watching us warm up. I turned round to my dad and told him we would win that game. It all just felt right.

Worst moment would be walking off Central Park for the last time. A feeling I will never forget. A part of me died that day.

Worst match has to be Wembley 98 against Sheffield. For me that was worse than the 75-0 as we had all of our best players available.

Favourite player is a hard one. I loved Henderson Gill as a kid but would have to say Hanley is the best I have ever watched.

Favourite Memories
Manly
Murrayfield 2002
A cup game against Leeds in 88 (?) - came back from losing at HT to win. Was the first time I stood at the back of the Popular Stand
Australia '86
The Saints game when Henry Paul scored from a drop-out (really am terrible at remembering years...)
The last minute win against Bradford

Worst Match
Was on holiday for the 70-0, 75-0 but Hudds 2008 was a truly low point.
Also, despite it being a great side, Boxing Day in the late 80's at CP when Saints ran in 20-odd unanswered points in the 2nd half.
Catalans CCSF 2007

Best Player
Hanley was the best in my time, but Radlinski has to be all-time favourite

Best Atmosphere
Most of the matches mentioned above, but Manly was special. I just remember feeling like you were really part of something at that time. I just hope the new set-up can start to generate some of that feeling again.

Greatest moment - Carneys double against Leeds. Nearly the whole team chasing him down twice and all missing him by inches.

Worst - Sitting with a bunch of Sheffield fans in Wembley stadium, oh my god that was awful

Best player, close one - Farrell, Edwards, Bell, Gregory................ but for me for the undying love for the club over all others as well as being one hell of a player has to be Radders.

Best - all time - winning at Saints in the cup in 82, the first time we had won a big televised game in ages, confirming that we were a club on the rise.

Recent - Headingley 2003 play off 23-22.

Worst ever - struggling like hell to beat Pilkingtom Recs (76?) through 2 late undeserved tries.

Recent - Grand Final 2000 16-29 v Saints, suggesting that we wouuldn't be dominant again.
