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 :blush:

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 :D :cool:

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