| I've had a few pints and re-watched that Sandow kick about 30 times plus and the reaction of a good 2000 + Wire fans
going into ecstasy. I'm going remember that moment for years and years. I'm trying to think of the last time I felt like that.
A couple of ones (in no particular order)-
1- Johny Davies scoring the second of 2 unbelievable tries v Halifax in the cc qf to get us through.
2- Kevin Penny's try at stains when Micky Monas collected behind the try line and spun a great pass to Hicks
who beat a few, then passed onto Penny who evaded more with amazing pace. (We lost the game but that try was worth a season
ticket on its own.)
3- Des Drummonds try from the kick off v Saints (late 80s).
4-David Solomon a's show, pretend pass and go and put in winger (who I can't remember). 2012 season I think.
That Sandow drop goal is up there with the very best for me.

| People always say henare's try v saints in 96, I always remember ropers length of the field effort as the more trouser wetting of the two.

| Too many to choose from but the night we beat Stains, for the first time in what seemed a lifetime, (the one in which Newlove got sent off) was a very, very special Fletcher St occasion. I was ho for days..

| Briers being announced as MotM at Wembley and his face on the big screen and the look up he gives to his brother.
It was the ultimate reward for a guy who had given so much to us, to win a cup at Wembley and pick up the Lance Todd too.
Hit me right in the feels that one.

I'll add another anyway rather than just be pedantic!

| Some real crackers , (as mentioned above) The Lancashire Cup semi v Widnes after they won the world club v Canberra. 28 -6 we hammered them. Widnes were a great side then and in those days that margin meant something.
Lefty Goldblatt- spot on with the Rowland Philips reference. I'll never forget his first game back after injury v Saints at Wilderspool and he ran the saints pack ragged. Him and Bateman were my heroes at the time.

I thought it was 2009 when he held his winners medal up. As Michael Monaghan was MOM in 2009.

| Ive been watching theWire now since the very early 1980's, but all my treasured moments are fairly recent.
Jon Dvaies display in the CC at Halifax in 1990
Beating the Pie people in the 2009 semi.
Beating Saints at the semi play off in 2012 after they had beaten us at the HJ a few weeks before.
The atmosphere for the League game at the Piedome in 2010, we had the place rocking it was wonderful.
And do you know what...... the last 25 minutes of Thursdays game at Salford will stay with me for many years.

| Quite a few of mine already mentioned.
My first game, which was against Halifax in 1993 the floodlights went off and we were cold but I got hooked on Rugby League.
1997 - Warrington Wolves 35 Wigan Warriors 24, Vagana and Lee Penny's tries standing out. Cullen and Alex Murphy getting a win from nowhere, when our start to the season had been awful.
2009 - CC Quarter Final at Hull KR, that was absolutely nerve wracking I don't know how we did it.
2009 - CC Semi vs Wigan, the King hat trick and the final try from Hicks really sticks with me.
Brent Grose try from the in goal at Widnes, and his try vs Wakefield at home.
Allan Langer taking the ball from Tommy Martyn in the in goal.

| beating Saints on their own ground to get to the Grand Final was a special night!
The Lancashire cup semi final v Widnes...under the lights at a packed out Wilderspool was a special night.
Beating Oldham at central park to get to Wembley was a great occasion...I was working in the Mulberry Tree in Stockton Heath afterwards..what a nigh!t....literally dancing on the tables and singing all night...quality!

That away end atmosphere at Knowsley Road in the Regal trophy was easily the best atmosphere I've been a part of.

| The 2009 CC cup experience was the best for me.
The Darren Burns 'ave it' moment when we realised we wouldn't get relegated.
Going top of the league in the last fixture of the season against Sheffield and the relentless chanting.
