| Quote: Father Ted "A Golden Oldie!
Championship Play Off 1959/1960 season.
Wigan stand off Dave Bolton was injured and Wigan announced that they would play Mick Sullivan at 6 in his place.
All Saints fans complained it was a tactic to get Alex Murphy sent off and Wigan get a win. Sullivan was then as good an "enforcer" as you'll ever get never mind his being a wingman. A 1950s/60s Dean Bell!
Game hadn't been going long and the biggest fist fight between two players you'll ever see took place. Between, of course, Murphy and Sullivan. Referee Eric Clay sent both off!
Result St Helens 9 Wigan 19.
Never to be forgotten!!!!!!!'"
Finger trouble, should be,
Showing your age Father TED

| - 65-12
- 1999 when Gary Connolly finally wrapped things up with a late winner. Never heard singing as loud. Stands out in my mind for some reason
- The best has to be 2003, Lukes hatrick. Unbelieveable scenes

1992 - along with the 87 Wigan Vs Manley match it's propbably one of the best games ever- 5-4 final scoreline with no tries scored and over 20,000 packed into KR. Awesome.

| Personally Boxing Day 92 - champagne rugby league from the best Saints side £ for £ I have ever watched.
Also the Boxing Day Clash in 1994 where Saints were booed off at half time trailing heavily only to make a great comeback to take the lead only for Wigan to snatch it right at the end.

Be careful Phil a lot of your fellow Saints fans think that 92 side was poor! Never understood why many of your fellow Saints can't bring themselves to say that was a really good side, they are so obsessed with painting that era as totally dominated by Wigan they ignore one of the great sides of the modern era and one of Saints all time best sides. Things went sadly (or happily depending on which way you look at it! ) wrong for that team in that they couldn't build on that in the following season but in 92 that team was definitely able to compete with the great Wigan side of that era.

It was the 88/89 season IIRC
They had the blue Canterbury shirt in 1986 though...and Stephenson never played for Wigan in 1988, so it must be 86

| Quote: Conroy "The 2003 season games are the best for me. Winning at home with a team of kids and then coming back from 20-0 down after as many minutes to score 38 unanswered points away.
Luke Robinson's little swagger as he got up after scoring his hat-trick try was superb. Really peed the stains fans off.'"
To add icing on that cake, I lost my ticket to the game during "pre-match drinkies" but given the (continued) inadequacies of the turnstiles utilised at the GPW, was able to wait patiently in turn before vaulting over and disappearing into the crowd before the stewards could find me.

No, it was 1986. It's on the 1986/87 season review.

| This came to me this morning I don't know why....
Does anyone remember the announcer playing the Monkees 'Cheer up sleepy Jean' during a break in play and everyone to a man joined in with Cheer up Ian Millward......needless to say it was never heard again.

Billy B scored two that night. It was played on a Saturday night to avoid clashing with the FA Cup final in the afternoon.

I think you've got your games mixed up there mate, 65-12 was in '97.
We played at KR in a midweek cup replay in Feb '95 which was the night of the Rep of Ire v Eng international. I know we won the game but what score was it?
