Anyone know who the Wigan captain was that day?

Team was Hampson Gill Lydon Bell Preston Byrne Gregory Shelford Kiss Case Wane T.Iro Goodway Bench: Lucas Betts

I'd say one of Bell or Gregory going by that line-up.

Well I thought that. I assumed Gregory as Bell was early ish Wigan career then. Wasn't he more a captain at the back end of it?

Yeah good thought. Bell was captain in early nineties.

It must be Greg!

The 89 CS was Dean Bell. The 88 hot sure but Gregory is the most obvious with Goodway another possibility.

I think it was Goodway. Not 100% sure though.
Was that the Isle of Man game or Anfield?

Which year was the one in Wales? Vs Saints IIRC?

I remember going to the Isle of Man when we played Halifax. I was only young but what a trip that was.

It was at Swansea v Widnes. The locals came out in support of the likes of Davies, Devereux etc
We "stayed over" in a hotel in the New Forest.

Oh what a night

I think it would have been Goodway.

Would love to see the Charity Shield re-instated, a pre-season warm up with the added spice of a final feeling against another top side.

After the 1987 WCC Both Stephenson and Russell had to make way for the Iro brothers

the match I'm after was in Douglas.
