My childhood and my younger life. These were my heroes and still are. I remember after we won the cup, some of the players came back to the local pub and our mums dads aunties uncles grandparents etc ate and drank together. The Aussies couldn’t believe we ate black pudding and pies , great times . I have so many memories of going down to these Wembley finals, the final agains Halifax, we all had to go to the side of the pitch , but we’re taken through the back tunnels of Wembley and ended up on the ‘,dog track’ and were then slowly allowed to go up to the kop as it it was over crowded 94000 people going mad , and stood on the pitch side was amazing for me , I remember it seeming curved and as I stood at pitch side you couldn’t see the other side of the field, the whole experience of going down to Wembley with your family and the various characters from your community and neighbourhood will forever be in my memory and heart, Great memories

What a era that was ...Wigan were a absolute Dynasty. I was more of a union man ...but I dropped everything when this lot were on the TV. Awesome when they won the Middlesex sevens. ...That was men against boys .

The Silk Cut Challenge Cup on the Beeb got me into RL and made me pick up the oval and play back in the amateur days, only Union though as not in the North enough for League. Lived near Widnes for years and the rivalry between Widnes and Wigan was huge! Leggys pub on the corner was the place to be xD

Offiah was faster for me. Recorded doing 10.8 secs 100m in his boots. Preston just over 11 secs. There was a championship decider at Naughton Park between Widnes and Wigan. Wigan were up 12-0 but Widnes were too strong that day and Offiah scored a hat trick. The only time he performed well against Wigan. He scored an excellent long range try and Mark Preston tried to tackle him, he couldn't get anywhere near chariots. I take it you lived near Kirkham? Mark Preston worked for the same Insurance co. as David Stephenson, another ex-Wigan player who was severely underrated. Sadly no longer with us. Regarding Offiah, there was a GB tour downunder. Before a game he had that race against Parramatta flyer Lee Oudenryn. Lee Oudenryn won the race, but all the GB squad had placed bets on Oudenryn to win the race. Netting them a few thousand quid.

Warrington complained about the incident, Maurice Lindsay (RIP Uncle Mo) replied: "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!" - in response to a Warrington player smashing Shaun Edwards' cheekbone and eye socket with an elbow.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TELLING ME STAINS IN SAY 1992 WHEN WIGAN WON THERE WERE SOME BUNCH OF CORINTHIAN PART TIMERS PLAYING THE MIGHT OF A FULL TIME WIGAN? the reasons this wigan team was dominant was they finally started to get the constant crop of wiganers to play for them edwards lyson gregory etc. Wigan then targeted the best available players outside wigan Goodway Platt Hanley etc AND then developed them to make them even better. To put the icing on the cake they then got quality players from overseas bell west Iro who were not established superstars and made them into superstars. Other clubs then strove to catch up bring up the standards there. What is the result? CARPING WHINING from stains stinkies wankies etc.

@@WellensOut Bobbie Goulding, someone who would start a fight with his own shadow, an utter dickhead. I have been in the vicinity of that druggie and alcoholic four times I am sad to say. First time Denis Betts and Mike Gregory threw him out a pub in 1991 for trying to start a fight with some of my friends. Greg bought us a round and apologised for Goulding's behaviour. Second time Goulding came into the same pub following weekend and hit another bloke from behind. Punched him right in the side of the head, proper blindsided him. We were with Frano Botica and his wife, Frano said Goulding is always like that. Frano is a proper gentleman unlike that malignant git. Third time was at an U11's RL game, Goulding threatened to twat the father of an opposition player. The ref had to have Goulding forcibly removed or the game would be cancelled. The fourth time was at Mike Gregory's funeral, Goulding was with a couple of his mates in the Springfield Hotel before the funeral. They were the last to leave and were stood at the back in the church making farting and burping noises during the service, giggling like little kids. Afterwards back in the pub he tried to start another fight, he was dragged out and then tried to kick off with an innocent passer by. Having that cnut as your profile picture says it all really.
