Couldnt see a thing then randomly heard on the tannoy 'try scorer for wigan warriors number 13 sean o'loughlin'
I loved that game. All I remember is seeing Richards appear through the fog and put the ball down under the posts. It took like 2 minutes to realise we'd scored
18 all draw at Central Park in 1991 (during the Mission Impossible season). Midweek, wet, cold, great old fashioned Rugby League. Skerrett had just been banned by the Disciplinary meaning he would miss Wembley but he was fantastic that night. One of my favourite matches, immense character from the whole team who were all exhausted and injured.
Over 17,000 on a Wednesday night, Bradford brought thousands too. Both teams packed with world class players, how times change
The try from Offiah where he ran the length of the field leaving Cordle and others in his wake was one of the great all-time Wigan tries. Fantastic memories. What a performance from Wigan that day and for the rest of that season, thrashing Leeds at home 74-6 and destroying Saints in the Premiership final. Offiah was on an incredible run of form, as was Gene Miles, those two on that form in the current side would allow us to beat any team in SL IMO. But to be fair the whole team was playing superbly, what a privilege it was to watch that side!

'92 I think it was, at Burnden Park. One of the great Wigan performances of recent years IMO. Fairly sure Nobby was Bradford's hooker that day too?
Another favourite of mine, think it was our first meeting at JJB:

Priceless.
There was another game in 93/94 I think that was called off after 20 because of fog. I remember it came in over the top of the (only) stand there and just filled the bowl up. Offiah scored I think, but nobody could see a flippin' thing!
Winter rugby days back at Odsal - always freezing and that terrible "Northern" song they played before the games.

I remember that too. I'm sure we were still still losing despite his score.

For pure emotion and a feeling that i'll probably never ever have again, it has got to be the playoff game in 2007. We were dead and buried with 25 mins left, let when Calders grabbed that intercept i was screamin and jumping around like a little girl.
I've never hugged so many people i didn't know in my life....when Pat kicked the drop goal to win it.......it was unbelievable!!
Lie low the fields, of Central Park
Where once we watched the King Kenny Play
(and could he play)
We had Boston on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory, round the Field of Central Park

I remember that game as we paid twice to see it. Coming out of the ground after it was abandoned they where handing out free tickets to come back and watch the re play. Only for my dad to leave them in his jeans and put them straight into the washing machine when we got home. Still gets a mention each time we purchase match tickets.
