gene miles awesome

It's hard to say which performance was our 'best' ever, but 2 spring to mind, the 1950 Championship Final v Huddersfield (who had an outstanding team at the time), were we had 8 'star' players missing due to commitments on the Lions tour, a 20-2 victory was hailed at the time as Wigan's finest hour, and of course the WCC in Brisbane 1994, described by many as 'one of the most outstanding achievments in the history of the British game'.

Yet you will still get plums arguing otherwise because according to them, nothing that Wigan did between 1985 and 1995 actually counts because it 'wasn't a level playing field yadda yadda yadda.'
Some of the rugby played in those videos was superb and brings back great memories about what a good side Wigan put together back then.

Recently put that game on DVD and what a awesome match, remember Offiah going round the Bradford winger Cordle and he was not too pleased about it.

Happy Days At Burnden Park

Gerald Cordle



Sorry if it's already been mentioned but didn't Nobby play for Bradford that day too? God I felt sorry for them.

As I came home happy from another Semi Final win at Burnden (against Salford), I found my mother stood on the doorstep waiting for me arms crossed with a stern look on her face.

Aparently after one of Wigans tries the BBC camera panned into the crowd and showed me quite clearly giving the 'v' signs to the Salford fans, who had been goading us. (Man U firm causing trouble).

She gave me such a bollocking!!!


I was 17 at the time!!!!!!
