to this day I still cant understand Why Wigan prop Shelford was sent off. Shelford Did nothing in that Brawl except get head Butted by our number 10 Tony Humphries and get Held in a head lock by Dessie.

I guess He was just glad of the rest

Mentioned on page two...

Still, worth another one, I suppose.

"This is the unacceptable face of Rugby League. A Warrington player chases the Wigan man from beind and battered him". (No mention of Goodway assualt). Wigan-biased commentary much? Could have been a young Phil Clarke on the mic.

And that must have been the most magic of magic sponges they used on Cullen there.

oops so it is...followed those links then got carried away and went all over you tube watching various fights then returned to this thread on page 3....

like you said worth another shout.

there is a longer version showing 1st half highlights of that game and some of the handling on show was absolute top drawer considering the conditions.

Yes, he did the Wigan games for Micron for years. Can't remember his name though.

wasnt it former Wigan Boss Alan Mcinnes.....? (joint Wigan Coach With Phil Clarkes Dad Colin in the early 80's....Say no more)

he definitely did the commentary on the dvd I've got of the Wires v Wigan Maine Road challenge cup Semi in 1989. That was scandalously Biased

His commentary on the 33-28 in 1993(?) is fantastic. Right in Wigan's corner.

'How must Doug Laughton feel? Seeing a great performance by Leeds, and an even better one by Wigan!'

Of course, Jim Fallon (I think) then scored late on to win it for the Loiners. Unless I'm mistaken, the Wigan team then left to go to that London to collect 'Sports Team Of The Year' on Sports Review Of The Year.

I was close to shedding a tear at the end of that game.

I've still got on video a match between Wigan and Warrington played in Mikwaukee USA. Apparently Hanley and mad Les Boyd had a set-to in the airport and then carried it on in the match along with most of the other players.

You're not talking about GB there are you...

Didn't Murphy refer to Australia as "coming from another planet"?

Despite being nearly 30 years ago that Aussie side looks as fit and as fast and more skilful than anything around now.

This wasn't just a very well coached team, it was a team stacked full of unbelievably talented individuals. In fact I'd go as far as say coaching that team was probably the easiest job in world rugby.

I don't expect to ever see a better team display.
