no the home game

Am pretty sure that the victory over saints gets a chapter in the book 13 winters, along with a full page photo of lee hansen!!!

Was this the same game that lee was sent of for a spear tackle on Paul Newlove???

who made his debut for saints on that cold wet windy night

And then it went daft. The start of everything we have had to endure.

was it Tommy Martyn?

no I havent its the year after

sorry
and the 87 lancs cup game at home V Stains which we also won

That was a cracking game.

Was it the one we came back to win it 27-21 or summat like that ?

Touchline conversion from Phil Johnson hitting post and crossbar to go into the lead?

One of those unlikely victories for Leigh v Stains I am sure resulted in Sonny Nickle having to go off with Hyperthermia.

The Steve Warburton try was a cracker. It was a pity Rochdale wanted so much for him, because he looked a tricky centre.

The 93-94 season was a laugh a minute. That victory at Odsal left all the Bradford fans shellshocked!!

yup Jonno told me that they had brought in Mike Ford to replace him and he was a tad 'bothered' so when he came on in the second half he had a blinder and that goal - whilst not as far out and as close to the touchline as Jonno makes out

is still a beaut and rattled the far upright before cannonng over the crossbar, Elia was outstanding for Saints, we had Brian Dunn on debut,Derek Pyke also had a great game and laid the foundation for the win with a classic props dispay (even though he was in the 2nd row) driving th ball in turning in the tackle and offloading.

I wish we could see classic ball-playing forwards like Derek Pyke these days. The nearest player I've seen to have those skills in the modern game is Danny Sculthorpe.

These days with his array of passes, Pyke would be playing stand-off!

Remember seeing the result on teletext and thinking it was wrong

Are forwards allowed to pass now?

I thought there was a rule brought in about 15 years ago whereby they were only allowed to drive the ball in.

Pyke had a cracking pair of hands and was very underrated outside of Leigh.

for me, the best ball playing prop forward the club ever signed was eddie bowman

True, but having once ran into his arm in a game of tig and pass, I can confirm he was definitely made of prop forward material.

In 93/94 we won two games the whole season, one was against saints, the other against bradford.

The title ended up wigan, saints and bradford all equal on points with the pies winning on points difference.

I remember thinking that life didn't get any crueller than that.

dont forget the draw V cas

they were three great games though watched them again the other night.

Fred, was that the 24-24 when (I am sure) Chris Johnson landed a touchline conversion in the last seconds?

it was the one where Nikau got sent off, and the first half refs performance was diabolical against us, we should have won it. Mike Ford had a very good game for them.

Widnes obviously rated him, we got £50K and Harry Pinner when he only had a couple of yeas left in him.

Saying that he won a championship, world club and premiership winners medals whilst there.

Jarrod Mc cracken was the man making his debut what a introduction to english weather

If I recall Andy Cheetham got the winner at Odsal in 93/94??
