It will probably be Jonathon "Loo-lie" Davis.

Mike Greg for me.

Either that or Kelvin Skerrett dangling from a wire in a superman fashion

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Then it has to be Eric Ashton, captained his country to an Ashes win in Australia. The first player to captain a winning team in two successive Challenge cup Finals.
The first man to be a player, coach and chairman of a winning Wembley team.'"


Or as you say Eric Ashton (he was well before my time and therefore I was un-aware of his achievements at Wembley).

I just hope the RFL don't cock this up. This is a chance to advertise RL's greats, such as Eric Ashton, Mike Gregory, Shaun Edwards - the list is endless.

However, it is the RFL so we'll end up with a statue of Stevo.

Edwards should be discounted on account of being sent off at Wembley for GB against the Aussies in 1994, in my mind (was that the same one when Jiffy scored in the corner?). As you may have worked out, 1994ish was around about the time I started to take more interest in RL (had been going to Leigh games on-and-off for two years prior to that) icon_lol.gif

As I've said personally I would have Shaun Edwards, but he was only a support player icon_rolleyes.gif wasn't he.

Sarcasm apart the jealousy against him is unreal and unfounded.

I picked Eric Ashton as a "safe" choice and would be delighted if it were him.

However, if every true RL fan put aside their club prejudices, it would be Shaun Edwards.
11 Wembley Challenge Cup Final Appearances with 9 wins will never be surpassed.

He is union though icon_rolleyes.gif

And he was just a support player, he couldn't create, pass, kick, organise, lead the team or anything. icon_lol.gif he was just in the right place at the right time, sort of a glorified Ricky Bibey.

I would contend that the most iconic photographic image related to Wigan RL and indeed Wembley is the shot of an airborne, try bound Trevor Lake in the 1965 final, considered by many to be the greatest Cup final.

That would do for me

Shaun Edwards and Alex Murphy. Both have great Wembley records and both are world renowned legends.
