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.

Best games

Murrayfield - 2002, 2009

Bradford away - 2007

Leeds away - 2003, 2007

Saints at home - 2007

Leeds Grand final - 1998

There are loads really, they are the most exciting though.

Worst game

0-75 unfortunatly will never be forgotten unless we better it.

Best player

Farrell 0r Radlinski.

Best atmosphere - Saints away or at home anytime. Hull away 2007. The best has to be after the game this year against saints at murrayfield.

got to be World Club Challenge against Manly, circa 37,000 people packed into Central Park, night time match with an unbelievable atmosphere. When Wigan walked out of the tunnel the whole place erupted, absolutely fantastic, no wembley or grand final appearance has ever come close to the atmosphere created that night icon_biggrin.gifANCE:

Best Game....difficult this as there has been so many, but I have to go for the first time I saw us win the Challenge Cup, Wembley 1965, v Hunslet, plus we were sat in the corner where Trevor Lake dove over for his famous try.

Worst Game....Easter Monday, 17th April 2006, days before Noble joined us, we lost at home to Harlequins 18-30, especially the first 40 mins, probably the worst performance from a Wigan team I have ever seen, and that includes the season we were relegated.

Best Player....Boston, its nearly impossible to explain to people how good Billy was if you never saw him play, but we have been blessed over the years with outstanding talent, Ashurst, Kenny, Hanley, how am I supposed to split those !!!

Best Atmosphere....I'll go for Wembley 1985, even though we had been to Wembley the previous year we probably didn't expect a win against an outstanding Widnes team, 85' was different, we had Kenny and Ferguson, I've been to Wembley dozens of times but never known it so packed tight, the game was brilliant, but those closing 10 minutes were stomach churning, I , like many more, thought we were going to throw it away, but the final whistle was a mighty relief, 20 years of wait over, the Cup had come home !!!

Only 16 so,

All time greatest game you have witnessed watching Wigan?
Bulls 30-31 Wigan

The worse game you have ever witnessed watching Wigan?
Catalans Semi final 2007
Wakey away 2006 10-8

All time greatest player you have witnessed wearing the Cherry and White?
Andy Farrell, Kris Radlinski

The best crowd atmosphere you have heard?
Hull Away Playoff 2007
All back end of 2006 games, the way we got behind the team in them troubled times was amazing.

Best Game Brisbane 94 was probably our finest hour, but for a game I've attended - Murrayfield 2002.

Worst Game Castleford Away in 2006. Getting snotted by the worst team in the league, picking up a load of injuries and sinking to rock bottom. Just an awful feeling of helplessness watching the team tumbling towards relegation and not seeing any positives on the horizon. Truly horrible feeling.

Best Player Ellery, but Edwards a close 2nd.

Best Atmosphere Good Friday 1993, the 8-8 draw against Stains with 30,000 packed into CP. Surprised the roof didn't come off that day. Hull in the playoffs in 2007 too, just for sheer non-stop noise and a huge following.

BEST GAME- For Excitement and emotion it as to be Bradford 07 play off. best team performance as got to be Brisbane

WORST GAME-Never felt as low as i did when we lost 75-0

BEST TRY-Carney's second against leeds in the play offs

BEST ATMOS- i never heard the wigan fans louder than when we came back from 20-0 down at saints in 02

BEST PLAYER- My hero was Dean Bell.but the greatest player i've ever seen was Hanley but for passion Edwards and Farrell were the men.

Certainly not a Wigan fan and never will be, but I do have a great Wigan moment. I was one of the 37000 that packed into Central Park for the 1987 World Club Challenge against Manly. The ground was full of fans from all over the place just willing Wigan to win. It was an amazing atmosthere that anyone who was there will never forget and probably never ever experience again. Central Park was always one of my favourite grounds.

Thats what the WCC should be like now! Everyone supporting the team representing the nation! Massive crowds, huge atmosphere. We should aim big with it, more like a champions league final.
