Can anybody remember the match when Wigan missed with a penalty and the opposition fielded the kick to score with the final play of the match and snatch victory?

Hull away ermm.. andy greg played

Correct Lucky

Wigan in the lead. Penalty, think oh stretch the lead and kill the time. kick misses and Hull (Gary Pearce mainly) went the length of the field to snatch victory.

Trying to remember , think it was very windy was we leading or was it a draw ? think the shot to win it was a way out against the wind and Lydon leathered but it went wide or didn't make it they went the full length .
I was stood on the embankment opposite the score board end (halfpenny shed thing on my left as I looked ) they scored at the front of us think Greg made the last attempted tackle thats how I remember he played long trip back ..........ah the good old days

Didn't Scott Gale - the Hull scrum half make the initial break?

[cpwigan]

Not sure he was playing for them. This was about 87 to 89ish
