I was driving to work this morning in Hyde and was sat at the lights, glanced to my left and there was another lad sat in his car. He had a Wigan shirt hanging up in the back and mini shirt in his rear window. I papped my horn and showed him the respect for displaying the colours.

When was the last time you saw a Wigan fan when you least expected it?

On a lesser point I also see a Saints sticker in a car in Ashton Under Lyne now and again, havent caught up with this individual as yet.

I suppose not the oddest but i seem to see a Wigan shirt everywhere i go on holiday. Walking down the las vegas strip i saw a cherry and white shirt walking towards me. Of course you have to stop them and say hello.

Although i did come a cropper on a train once....i saw a guy in a wigan jumper and hat, so i just said "how you think the seasons going pal" to the reply "i dont support them lad i just got them from a charity shop".

Omagh, Northern Ireland.

Yes, he was Irish!

On my first full day on holiday in New York about 7 years ago, I saw a bloke in the queue for the Empire State Building wearing our 2002 Murrayfield shirt.

In Amsterdam airport, I was just arriving for an early morning meeting.

I have seen them all over the place, in france (not at an Wigan game), Wales north ans south, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds. I also once saw a lorry on the ferry with a Wigan scarf accross the front, it was a french lorry so the driver was also french I think.

I'm sure I saw a charity video once on the telly showing you all the clothes donations people had made to third world countries, with someone wearing that god awful warriors top from a few years back. No jokes about how that was actually in Wigan please...

Was it the 1997 vomit shirt?

When i went to the spice girls comeback tour



there was 5 people all with wigan shirts on each with the spice girls nicknames printed on the back, got a picture of it somewhere

Wimbledon Tennis 2 years ago a chap from Essex who has supported us all his life and a player turns out she was from Wigan had a scarf tied to her kit bag

I've just seen some lanky youth in Sainsbury's on Deansgate in Manchester wearing our current shirt. I then got into a panic as to whether the Bradford game was actually tonight instead of tomorrow...



'Strangest' place is probably in Puerto de Pollenca, Majorca a few years ago. A chap wearing a Wigan shirt was being dragged around the markets by his missus one afternoon.

Jack "the Snake" roberts wore a Wigan shirt while he was wrestling a match in New Orleans in 1998. i rememeber watching it on DVD and thinking WTF! Think it was November to Rememeber 98.

Im ashamed to say that was the first Wigan shirt I bought.

On a train to Parramatta from Sydney. I was wearing my Wigan Patrick spray jacket at the time in 2004. An oldish looking Kiwi said "I am a Wigan fan, I played for them in a Challenge Cup final in 1960's!" - never caught his name though.

Can anyone help?

Also got a few iN Sydney as is expected as well as a Mexican Pool Entertainer at our Hotel in Cancun one year!

I ment a streaming version of it from a not as popular streaming website.

I worked in Hungary for 2 years i was sat in the living room waiting for the shower to come free and my room mate walked out the bathroom in the away one i have never laughed as much in all my life it was 2 years ago and he was from Bristol. Quality !

On holiday in Salou, Spain in autumn last year. An owd'ish fella wearing a Wigan jacket and a Wigan baseball cap.

Seen it now, you win hands down!

I was in this market in Suva, Fiji:



One of the stallholders with a massive 'fro was wearing a Wigan shirt. It's to my lasting regret I didn't get my father-in-law to get a picture of me with him. I also saw someone in a Cas shirt in Fiji selling mud crabs by the side of the road

Running the London Marathon in 2007 I saw a guy wearing one of the old Nike home shirts in the crowd near Greenwich.



Just managed to point and excitedly wheeze 'Wigan!' before running past.

If it was you -

Great Comment mate "wheeze-ing Wigan", good on yer from doing a marathon tho.

Anyone wishing to see the match where Jake the Snake Roberts wore his Wigan shirt needs to go onto You Tube and type N2R 1998 Part 13/16 in the search bar.

wierdest place was a really small rough village in mexico i was looking for sumwhere for the wigan game to be shown then my gf looked down the road and some proper old wiganer comes walking up the road with his deck chairs and rubber rings hanging off him, didnt see anyone with him though,
the thing i like the best is when you find a bar when your on holiday, they all have the shirts and flags hanging everywhere, you see the usual celtic, rangers, united, liverpool but you will always see a wigan rl shirt never a latics shirt
