1-Hanley

2-Farrell

3-Edwards

4-Radlinski

5-Lam

Ellery Hanley

Andy Gregory

Dean Bell

Andy Platt

Faz



Of course, such lists are subjective but I can't see how anyone can leave Ellery off at all!

Lam? Radz? you're high!

If you had a choice of only Hanley or Farrell who would it be?

They're 'my' top 5.



I've been watching us since 1989 and they have been my 5 favourite players but also the 5 i feel made the biggest contribution to us from that time onwards.



I can understand somebody questioning Lam but Radlinski?

Not even as good as Lydon, let alone Hampson.

Miles

Farrell

Bell

Robinson

Skerrett



Those are the 5 I enjoyed watching the most.



Miles because of his unbelievable handling skills, simply the best hands I've ever seen from a centre, by some distance. When you have that much skill and the power and physical presence that Miles had it was a joy to watch. Still think we should have got a second year out of him.



Faz because he always delivered, a huge presence in every sense.



Bell because he might not have had the physical gifts of a Farrell or the sublime skill of a Miles but he gave 100% to the Wigan cause, a courageous captain, a great leader and a nice guy.



Robinson because he could do things that no other player could; will there ever be another player with the pace off the mark, the agility and balance of Robinson? I don't think we'll see his like again.



Skerrett, well what can I say? Huge entertainment value. We don't seem to have characters like him around anymore (but then again did we ever, to be fair the Super Kel incident was pretty unique!).

I do not think the thread is aimed at naming the top 5 players on ability just the top 5 players people liked to have at the club/watch.



It becomes a bit on non envent trying to debate with someone over the plyers they have chosen as it is a totally personal thing.

As a young fan - it has to be



Rads

Faz

barrett

renouf

lam

I'd have to agree with them, players from my lifetime, Faz a player I always looked uo to at a very young age, then developing as to which position I'd play in the game, Radlinski become my icon.



Although he wasn't at the club a very long time, I always liked Brett Dallas, he was very professional to the game of rugby.

Think he did 5 maybe 6 years with us not a bad "shift".

Hanley - Farrell spent many a year trying to be a 6 which did not help the club.

Depends who the other 12 were in the team!





Maybe Faz couldn't have taken us to the Highs that Hanley did in a team of World Beaters i.e Hanley was the Better Cherry on the Cake



However



We lost Faz and the club fell apart (Albeit with the loss of a few others such as Lam/Smith/O'Connor & the Coach situation) which shows how much he "Lifted" the club and led them.



If I had to pick???????????





Hanley

Yawn.

Not without Boston is isn't !!!!!!!!!!!!

Come again?



Could you not have managed to add a team under the yawn? Must be the first time you have ever managed to make a post without adding a team for the 2010 season and beyond!

Radderz

Farrell

Barrett

Renouf

Lam





They are only the players I have seen regular and can remember fully, from 1991 to 1996 I cannot remember to well.

FAVOURITE players - not 'best' (but not far off):



Hanley

Gregory

Bell

Dermott

Farrell



Honourable mentions to Tuigamala, Skerrett, Lam, Edwards, Gill, Bell, Lydon.

Never saw Kenny play.

In my lifetime the players I've enjoyed watching most are:



Robinson

Tuigamala

Paul

Renouf

Lam



Picked on the ability to make you think they are going to do something special when they have the ball in their hands.

Ellery, every time.

1. Dean Bell

(led by example, never took a backwards step, couldn't meet a nicer person either)

2. Ellery Hanley

(just pure class, seemed to float round the pitch and make the game look so easy)

3. Shaun Edwards

(has never been replaced adequately since he left, could play 6 or 7 to a world class standard)

4. Kelvin Skerrett

(we could do with Superkel in our current team dishing it out to the opposition)

5. Andy Farrell

(kept Wigan going through the early Super League era, without Faz our record would be worse than it is now)



Special mentions to Henry Paul, Gene Miles, Andy Platt and Robbie McCormack

Super Kel

Dean Bell

Twiggy

Faz

Tezza

Oh no, I'm slowly being known as the guy who adds a team to clarify how Wigan would look with the new player discussed in the line up!





Could be worst, I could be the 'pedantic' one!

Hanley



Edwards



Bell



Greg



Faz

no......he would have been no11 if id carried on



you cant name em all
