We won it in the grand slam year, under Graeme West - if my memory serves me correctly

I know now that they won it in 1996 thanks to the people that replied,but there is another question i want to ask,did they win four trophies in one season and what where the trophies thank you.

In 1994-95 season we won the League championship, the Silk Cut challenge cup(Wembley v Leeds), the Regal Trophy v Warrington and the Premiership trophy v Leeds. It was grand to be a Wigan supporter in those days, but we had no idea it would all end very sadly. To cap it all, they pieced up Graham West after their most successful season.
