My granddad's my mam and dad have always been Wigan fans so I have always watched them .
First memory was seeing Fairburn play my dad said if he misses a kick he eats a lump of turf believed that for years !
Has a real fan it was when we got Hendy he was the first player I went and really watched and then from him my love for Wigan grew I have watched them all my life really my dad took me when I was a little lad but I think when we got back up is when I became a fan and knew what it meant .
Sorry for rambling

Yes I remember Vigo or my dad saying he had scored was playing on the floor at the time .
Seem to remember him scoring away at leeds a couple of times we had a nippy scrum half at the time his name ? well it's my age

we had a all red top at the time Adidas I think my dad had one like it was not a replica don't think they existed then! remember wearing it when my mam shrunk it in the wash

Jimmy Nulty was the scrum half (I think) Glad they put that hattrick by Green Vigo on the 101 top tries video.
