Best set of Wigan backs?
Best set of Wigan backs?
I was just watching a video of us from 1994 and we had
Radlinski
Offiah
Connolly
Tuigamala
Robinson
Paul
Edwards
As our backs. I can't remember seeing a full set of backs that were so brilliant, certainly not since I first started watching Wigan in 1986. Yes, we've had other players of a similar calibre, but not all at the same time. I feel genuinely privileged to have seen some of the rugby that we played back then.

If you want to see a brand of rugby by Wigan that in my view will never be repeated go on YouTube and find “Wigan Invincibles 1988-95. It covers Wembley. I don’t think that Joe Lydon gets the credit he deserves. I think that Andy Gregory is the most creative player I have seen.
