Happiest memories are going to a packed Willows as a young lad, watching the game then with about 70 mins gone, we'd be hoping the play was down at the clubhouse end (no matter wheather that was our try line or the oppositions) so the players were close to us at the final hooter, then legging it onto the pitch to get the players tie-ups (a strip of bandage that they used to hold their socks up). Oh the joy the day I got David Watkns tie-up!!!
Also the day we ended Wigan's long run in the Challenge cup.
The saddest memory was the day the game was abandoned at half time because of the sad news that Leeds player Sanderson (I've forgotten his 1st name) had died after swallowing his tongue. I was stood next to the tunnel on the opposite side to the shed (when there used to be terracing, where the club shop is now inside the ground), and I wached a very pale faced young man being carried off on a stretcher. God rest him.

Yeah that was the last we saw of them! His leg was cut to ribbons!
