If I may, and I won't extract the urine and talk about Wigan wins.

Mine was a Saints v Wigan game and I think Saints actually won.

When a player was awarded a testimonial they were allowed a collection at the ground for ONE match, so this game must have been around 1967 or 68. It was Tommy Volls collection v Wigan. At half time all the players came out with buckets and the speccies threw coins (how would that go with h&s now) to the players for Volls collection.

The last player to leave the field after that collection was Billy Boston and the Saints crowd cheered him as if he as one of their own.

Fantastic memory, and one that will stay with me forever.

See, I knew there were some decent Saints fans.

I'd have to go for a day in '96.

I started supporting in '93, so after we'd beaten Wigan inthe premiership, we went on a miserable run under Eric Hughes were we didn't win at all against them until SL started.

So either the 2nd game in, when andy northey went over to clinch a long awaited win over the old enemy or last game of the season (against wire) when Tommy scored and we knew the league trophy was coming our way and our days of being bridesmaid were really over.

My first day as a steward, the Andy =#FF0000Naughty Farrell game. I`d been assigned the Eddington end. That was a baptism by fire



The =#FF0000Naughty from Widnes setting off a distress flare in the Eddington stand



The streaker and the look on Jason Hoopers face as he was about to kick a penalty from the touchline(?)



The giant purple ball bouncing about in the pop side that landed near Darren Albert just before kick off. He saw the funny side and threw it back



The International game when the scoreboard stuck and the crowd carried on counting 5... 5... 5...



My last day as a steward, the Warrington game just gone, and the conversation I had with Paul Sculthorpe.



So many, not particularly favourite, but those stand out for me.

=#FF0000Thank you,

41-6 for me.

Also very much enjoyed the cup game we won against the goons when Goulding got sent off, and Wide To West obviously.

Gotta be 'Wide to West' for me - now that was, to quote my big bro 'A try of orgasmic proportions'

still sends a shiver down ya spine even after all this time, 75-0 comes a close second

Many highlights since 1975. To name a few :


41-6 against Wigan is probably my most memorable Saints victory.

Seeing us finally win the Championship (and so the double) against Warrington after what seemed a very long 20 year wait in 1996

Winning a school cup final playing for St Anselms circa 1981

Winning St Helens cup playing for Blackbrook against Thatto Heath in 1997

Honour of witnessing the Australian Kangaroo invincibles in 1982 & 1986 in their tour games against Saints.

Oddly the cross-code challenge against Sale sticks in my head, probably due to the banter Neil Holding was giving their fans at half time.

However Wide-to-West my fav moment by a country mile!

Another memory was Gray Viane's (please excuse spilling if its rong) two massive hits against Wigan, can't remember on whom they took place though.

41-6 - best game / atmosphere ever. 27th dec 1992 I think (rather than boxing day), when we wore the "Coors" jerseys. We had to win to keep in touch with Wigan at the top of the table. When we went 6-0 down, we thought here we go again... but instead, was one of the most complete performances by a Saints team. Abiding memory was Sonny Nickle racing towards the corner (bungalow/pop) for a brilliant try.

The Wire game in SL96 when we finally won the league.

I also fondly remember the game before - we played Sheffield, and beat them 68-2 I think. A complete master class of attacking rugby, with Prekkie scoring a brilliant counter attack try from a Goulding kick, and Sully scoring a few specials.

The 1997 CC game against the Goons, with Paul Newlove and Chris Joynt pointing at the score board, and going completely mental when Hunte intercepted.

Of more recent times, the game against Leeds in SL last year (the one with the biff) was a brilliant game, and one of the best atmospheres we've had on KR for a good while.

Last one for me - The Hull game in 2005. I had a bit of a bonus from work, so treated me, my Dad, 2 of my cousins, and my Uncle to a "package" in the Alan Prescott suite. Getting from the Suite to the Main stand, we walked out through the old tunnel, onto the pitch (well, the perimeter) just as Saints were finishing their warm up. Brilliant experience. Close game too - Cloughy made his debut, and was one of the players (with Scott Moore) to come into the restaurant afterwards to give an interview. The compare was Tony Barrow (funny bloke, and still massive) - turned out he knew my Dad and Uncle when they were kids in Thatto Heath!

The "Wide to West" try will go down in Rugby League, Super League & KR Folk law. If ever there's a close game which I'm either at or watching, I'll pipe up "It's wide to West" in hope to re-create a moment like that!

For the younger fans who were not around in this saints era, this is in "The Final Match" programme as one of the greatest games.
The "Coor" jersey caught the fans by suprise because we didn,t know what it was all about. It was more of a suprise how the players played in this kit and the performance seen by all. For Wigoons it was a nightmare, Offiah injured, Sean Edwards spitting his dummy out, Skerret sent off in the 2nd half and the "Wigan Walk" beginning with about 15 mins to go.
George Mann + Sonny Nickle being the "demolition men" in the absence of Kevin Ward.

TONIGHT!

What was the Wide to West try?

I have many memories over the last 30 years but tonights game really did bring a tear to my eyes.... The last three minutes showed that we still are the entertainers!!

Just watched the Wide to West try, Try of Orgasmic proportions, i do say so.

How can you never have seen wide to west before tonight?? Half of it was on the screen before and after the game today

Was munching a curry before the game so i missed the video roll of KR and i wasn't that up on my rugby league until the season before we got SL, never followed another sport since though.

It was in the super league era

It's part of fan initiation to know the Wide to West try. So now you are a real rugby league fan.



Tonight's finish has to go down as a fave KR moment. It was good; very good. But Wide to West still pips it for me.

He is a leigh fan. Wide to west happened a few years before Leigh got in SL

I have a few. Wide to West, 75-0, Anderson's touchline conversion and last night just topped it all off really.

I'm shocked nobody as mentioned the great Chris Joynt try vs the Bulls. Cant remember the year.

The Chris Joynt try is Wide to West.

trivial point, but I'm wondering why that memorable try, which would be my favourite kr moment, became known as 'wide to west' try? It could have been called several things. I like this the most though and understand that the commentary by Eddie and Stevo is part of the fabric of the try, but just wondering how we all came to the concensus that it should be called 'wide to west'? Maybe we've just all got good taste.

I knew that

I thought you was messing!!!!!!!!!
