1) Robinson, just because
2) Henry paul, cause I talked to him at a homecoming and he was lovely and I thought he was a good player
3) inga tha winga, not like them big bradford players he actually had some talent and speed and didnt go off injured after one tackle

Gary Connolly-Strongest arms in RL!!!

My Picks would be:
Ellery Hanley,
Shaun Edwards (How many tries would he have scored on Friday backing up Nick Graham and Danny Sculthorpe!)
Brett Kenny

This means I have ignored so many great players but these three would be in my all time Wigan team.

1. Dean Bell

Without doubt this guy is my all time Wigan hero. I mean the man spilt blood by the bucket full for the team. Also Deano was an outstanding captain, setting a superb example to his team mates by leading from the front never taking a backwards step.

2. Frano Botica

Frano was very underated in some quarters, people saw him just as a great goalkicker but there was loads more to Frano than that. He was quick, creative and always there to back up the play.

3. Kelvin Skerrett

Who could forget Superkel diving into that crowd of players, wasn't it against Featherstone at Central Park. Yet again a class player who wouldn't take a backwards step

1. Martin Offiah.

Wow could that guy move!!!!

2. Frano Botica.

Best goal kicker that i have seen in my era playing in a cherry and white.

3.Inga / Shaun Edwards

Inga: Powerhouse what a player shame wigan never signed him when he was younger. Imo we didnt see enough of him (re sentance b4)

Shaun edwards: Best captain wigan ever had!
Officially PJ'sNo.1.Fan!!

How do you pick just 3 from so many greats?

Here's my 3:

1: Inga - the nicest guy i have ever met but what he did to the opposition as downright nasty. HA HA!

2: Shaun Edwards - the guy is wigan through and through - we should find him a job at the JJB. I will never forgive Eric Hughes for allowing him to leave!

3: Sam Panapa - not the most skillful player ever but gave 110% whichever position he played - and i think he played them all!!!

Honourable mentions to Super Kel, Big Red and Billy Whizz.
