I've watched Wigan since the late 1950s and my Dad has followed Wigan since the late 1920s. We both rate Brian McTigue as the best Wigan forward ever.

He could do the lot. Make yards. His ball handling was sublime. Could score tries. He scored one at Wembley in the early 60s and he fair flew through the defence to score.

He was as hard as nails, but IIRC never got sent off.

And lastly and most important.........he scared the hell out of the Ozzies and in those days we won most of the games against Australia.

Alex Murphy in his autobiography said he thanked the Lord that 'Mac' was close by, when he wound the Ozzies pack up at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

That would just be biased in favour of more recent players surely ?

Past legends like Jim Sullivan, Billy Boston, and Brian McTigue, would be nowhere in a list for younger Wigan fans.

Radlkinski.
Boston, Ashton, Bell, Offiah,
Edwards, Gregory,
McTigue, Dermott, Skerrett,
Farrell, Ashurst,
Hanley.

It would be a reflection of the opinions of people on here, hence RLFans.com Wigan XIII. For quite a few posters players I grew up with and were my heroes will just be names but that's the way it is.
