| Manly. Nothing will ever compare with that ever again. The official video captures it all perfectly.
A recent favourite, though was the match at home against Warrington shortly after we signed Stuart Fielden. We'd had a massive losing streak and in this match, we wiped the floor with them. I remember seeing all the fans strutting round the stadium, smiling, with their chests puffed out. We were back!
Favourite player? Nicky Kiss. He was just one of those players - he'd give daft penalties away, but he was hard as nails, he was cheeky; what you saw was what you got, with him; and was one of a now sadly extinct breed of hookers.
He was interviewed live before the 1985 CC final, and he responded to Harry Gration's comment that Henderson Gill was even more of an entertainer than him by saying that it was "cos he's got colours", a reference to Gill's race. It would be considered a racist comment now, and would probably attract hundreds of complaints, but at the time it was taken at face value and everyone just started p155ing themselves laughing.

[bWorst 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
I'd blocked that one out. It was bl00dy freezing & you're right, we were utterly clueless. I remember talking to my Grandad after the match & saying it was the first time I'd ever been bored at a match. Happened a few times since, mind. That said, the first 15 mins of Michael Dobson's first home game for us was a great moment, simply because he put 4 or 5 decent kicks in & you sensed belief starting to come back into the crowd.'"
Dobson didn't make his debut till 27 th May in a 14-28 defeat to Saints.
The H'Quins game was a 12-30 ko, our team was..
Moran, Ashton, Richards, S.Gleeson, Dallas, Brown, Orr, Hargreaves, Higham, Wilkes (debut), Tickle, Jonkers, O'Loughlin...subs, Feka, Godwin, O'Carroll, James,...Stuart Wilkinson was acting coach in charge.

| Best Game....difficult this as there has been so many, but I have to go for the 27 - 0 game v Saints at Wembley in 1989. After being there and seeing us beaten by them in 1961 and 1966 it was special. No matter what Saints speccies tell you that score hurts more than anything in their history.
Worst Game....April 11th 1980, Castleford away lost 13 - 21. Th game that sent us down to the second division.
Best Player....Boston. There are not enough superlatives to describe him, no matter how hard anyone tries. All those lucky enough to have seen him pull on that famous cherry and white jersey should thank God for that privilege.
Best Atmosphere....Manly at Central Park. Even supporters from other teams were there that night willing us on. We didn't get back to Billinge until almost midnight.
Favourite Game... As a Rugby League supporter no doubt. Being in Melbourne June 26th 1992. Australia 10 Great Britain 33.
Eight Wigan players, Offiah, Edwards and the Wigan six pack Skerrett, Dermott, Platt, Betts, McGinty and Clarke.
Opposition speccies (British) deriding that pack, then coming to us after the game shaking our hands "Your lads did us proud"
The conga in the rain around Princess Park. Singing "always look on the bright side of life" to the Aussies, who looked on in disbelief. The look on Billy McGintys face when he was subbed as he saw the conga, and the all night part after.
Getting on the coach next morning to the airport to fly up to the Gold Coast and seeing men pouring lager on their cornflakes.
PRICELESS.

i cant really compete with that Brian in my 5 years but here goes
Best Game(s)
The 50-26 Playoff win in Perpignan september 08, there couldnt have been 2 wigan fans that walked past each other that day, just a great atmosphere and a fabulous performance from the team!
The Win at Murrayfield May 09 was special too aswell as the playoff wins at Odsal and Hull in 07.
Worst Game(s)
The Quins home game in apr 06 was dire, i remember everyone watching as Mclindens kick was allowed to bounce and then he recaught it and scored.
The 2 semis ve catalan and Warrington 07 and 09 respectively were low points too.

| Stood on the Spion Kop as a young lad. Wigan are losing to Leeds. Wigan are attacking with minutes to go. I am saying my prayers that we will score. Mick Sullivan scores in the corner. Game won. Bring back memories to anyone?
best player. No doubt. Ellery Hanley.
Favourite player = Dean Bell

Yep, and Punchy Griffiths kicked the goal from the touchline to give us a
14 - 11 win. I was stood on the wall on the 25 at the Kop end Douglas side that day.

| Best game -
Manly 87
Hull Wembley 85
Saints away - putting 65 past them at KR when they were reigning champs i think
Saints away 2004 i think, being 22-0 down in no time, - enter Luke Robinson.
Rads last minute home to Bradford
Worst
For me conceding 57 at Cardiff against Saints was worse then the 75-0.
Wembley 98 was bad
2001 GF, just never turned up.
Best atmosphere
Manly 87 again, but recently Hull away in 2007 playoffs was pretty good.

| Quote GingerWiganer="GingerWiganer"Just a bit of fun guys
What are your all time moments supporting the beloved Wigan RL
sadly as I am only 16 I am unable to have those great memories of the 80s and 90s but Ive had some great ones since watching wigan.
All time greatest game you have witnessed watching Wigan?
Wigan Vs Bradford 2006
The worse game you have ever witnessed watching Wigan?
70-0 and 75-0 need i say more?
All time greatest player you have witnessed wearing the Cherry and White?
Kris Radlinski
The best crowd atmosphere you have heard?
Good friday 2005 25k record crowd absolutely fantastic buzz around the stadium.
Feel free to add some more.'"
Best moment for me - Challenge Cup final in 2002 simply because we were written off by all of the media and for Rads's performance.
Favourite player - Mean Dean
Gutsiest performance - Shaun Edwards against Warrington in the 1990 Challenge Cup final, but Rads in the 2002 Challenge Cup final and Faz's "Phantom of the Opera" impersonation against Leeds when he got his nose plastered across his face have to come a close second.
Worst performance - Can I nominate Eddie and Stevo in the commentary booth?!?!
