Quote ="The Riddler"It doesn't rank very highly on the "I Was There" charts but, nonetheless, I was actually there. If anyone's interested in forming a rival group to the Perpignan 52 then let me know.
Memories of the night include a Wigan steward letting us in for a couple of quid cheaper than the admission price by opening a gate for us and the very exotic Papua New Guinea fielding a team. Up to that night I'd never actually believed they played rugby there.
Oh yes, and we won it.
The squad that night was:
Mike Gregory
John Woods
Mark Roberts
Mark Forster
David Lyon
Rocky Turner
Ronnie Duane
Garry Sanderson
Billy McGinty
Brian Carbert
and, and I'm so glad because you know people are going to leap on this,
John Thursfield.
Rd 1 = Warrington 12 Wigan 6 (T: Turner, McGinty G: Woods 2)
Semi = Warrington 6 St Helens 0 (T: Forster G: Woods)
Final = Warrington 24 Rest of the World (T: Forster 2, Carbert, Roberts G: Woods 4)
Yes, of course I remembered all of that off the top of my head.
Oh OK, I had a little help from Google and the following page (which also has a great photo).
