Pyjamarama Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have unleashed my inner nerd & had a flick through a book I have entitled 'Wigan RLFC 1895/1986' by Ian Morrison. Post First World War up to 1986 I found 5 matches, including an almost unheard of scoreless draw & bizarrely a Yorkshire Cup tie. (The book states that the Lancashire Cup had been suspended during WW2 - hence Wigans entry into the Yorkshire Cup). 1925/26 v Leeds 0-5 1942/43 v Dewsbury 0-6 (Yorkshire Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg) 1951/52 v Barrow 0-9 1973/74 v Castleford 0-0 1978/79 v Castleford 0-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told as a boy that Wigan had played in the Yorkshire Cup. When I mentioned it at school a particular heckler rubbished my very existence. Thankfully I haven't seen him since around Wembley 89: 27-0 to WIGAN. The happiest day of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan Riversider Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Leeds fully deserved it. A night game at Central Park was always a magical atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigan Riversider Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Phil Ford scored 2. Ellery didn't. Goulding n Schofield were Leeds' halves. Bentley scored too. Great memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Back in the early days it was not uncommon for games to finish 0-0. The 1905 Wigan v Leigh Lancashire Cup final finished scoreless. Wigan won the replay 8-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlno1 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting in the previous season to this Wigan v Leeds game, Oldham Rochdale Hornets Sheffield Featherstone Rovers Bradford were all in the 14 team top flight. How times change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part-time players plying their trade in delapidated stadiums in front of crowds half the size of today. Halcyon days, indeed. Maybe, but you could still get a Leigh pie!

Wigan Riversider Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 4 minutes ago, Wigan Riversider said: Part time or not there were some greats in that era. Ellery Hanley and Andy Goodway were full time professional players back in 1985 when they signed for Wigan at about the same time. Garry Schofield is in the Balmain Hall of Fame. Halcyon days indeed That was when 'official' attendances might not accurately reflect the actual number in the ground. Players were paid in cash. 37000 v Manly It was more like 50000 at £4 each unless you sat down. Standing, as I did, you could not move. Same at Wembley 1985 when stewards were prosecuted at the FA cup finalfor letting people in for £5 after they had done the same at Wigan v Hull final. 97000 not Probably 110000 Appreciate I have drifted off topic slightly. I too love amateur RL . Follow Chorley Panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players than Ford have been scapegoated by the South Stand muppet army so it's nothing to be ashamed of. His hat-trick when we put 50 on Saints with 12 men for 60 minutes is one of my favourite RL memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the video and it occurred to me that I can't remember Bentley scoring a 'normal' try. It's as if he couldn't score unless he started 80m from the try line. TESTICULI AD BREXITAM.
