1, Ending wigans long run in the challenge cup
2, That tackle by Richard Webster on Jason Critchley (ouch)
away you go folks!
Too many for one post , but here I go-
The day I stood next to Barney Hudson in the popular side stand(now known as the shed)
The day Gus Risman handed me my free ticket to see a match.
The day we signed Ken Richards and his first try.
The day we signed David Watkins, Colin Dixon,Paul Charlton,Chris Hesketh,Maurice Richards, Keith Fielding, Ken Gill etc,etc.
Every time we beat Wigan, St Helens, Leeds, Bradford,Warrington etc.
The time that the steward asked the 20 stone Bradford fan to vacate
my seat in the Austin Truman stand and we won that match as well.
The day we got the franchise.
The day the new stadium is opened(obviously this is one for the
near future)
When we knocked Wigan out of the cup and the TV camera moved around the ground and that most loyal Wigan fan John Massey was picked up actually crying at the final whistle.
Anytime that we win, draw or even just play well.
