Much as everyone loves Mike Gregory, he's not a Wembley hero, so he's a non-starter.
Alex Murphy for me. I'm sure that every time he played at Wembley he won, but was also playing out of position each time. Can anyone verify?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

[color=#FF0000:1fnfdzuc]Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

I'd go with either Offiah or Edwards, both played there many times putting in standout performances.

Deffo Offiah, he was the man for the big occasion and scored a few spectacular trys at Wembley that no other player could of scored. They were trys fit to win any final.
The one against Leeds when Ray French said 'hes got Alan Tait to beat' and Offiah went round him like he wasnt even there after already beating half the Leeds team was the best solo try ive ever seen at Wembley. I believe the above picture was taken after he scored that try?

Yep and what a try.
I will remember it until the day i die. I was 11 years old at the time and some crazy women sat at the side of me grabbed hold of me and hugged me to near black out as he broke the line. Her grip got tighter and tighter as he went further and then she went off her rocker shaking me about as he went round Tait 
If only i had that way with the women now  |

Murphy was a disgrace at wembley when he got Hines sent off after a brilliant bit of play acting that Ronaldo would have been proud of.
Feined injury, then winked at his team mates why he was being carried off on a stretcher????????????/
Thats the main thing murphys famous for doing at Wembley.
non-starter IMO |
