From 1988 to 1995, Wigan Rugby League Club dominated the Challenge Cup. Eight years in a row they lifted the famous old trophy in an unbelievable show of strength, speed, skill, courage and determination that will surely never be surpassed.
For Wigan supporters, Wembley was like a second home, while the likes of Ellery Hanley, Shaun Edwards, Andy Gregory and Martin Offiah became household names and true sporting icons.
From the first triumph over Halifax through to the double success over Leeds, this is the complete story of that incredible achievement. Featuring highlights of each of the finals and action from the ‘Road to Wembley’, behind the scenes footage and exclusive interviews with the men who played such a pivotal role in this remarkable period of success for rugby league’s greatest ever team.

| I've dropped some unsubtle hints for father's day. It's got to be worth it for 8 Challenge Cup wins!

Why not order it via the link above? Helps this site, and saves you a quid as well?

That's due to the "Saints horror show - 29th April 1989".

Play have now knocked another quid off to bring it in line with Amazon. At the time I made my earlier post, it was £11.99 on amazon and £12.99 on play.
Amazon delivered mine in a couple of days, even with the free postage offer.
Even if the prices are the same, I'm more than happy to wait an extra day or two to send a few pennies to help pay for the running of this board anyway

| Great DVD. I got it last week and I've watched it twice already. RL was played so much better then - much more creative.
And I'd forgotten just how vicious Bobbie Goulding's attack on Jason Robinson was - he was very lucky indeed that Richie Eyres had been sent off just a few minutes earlier, or he would have walked too.
The 8 Challenge Cups only tell probably about 30% of the story, though. I think we won five championships on the trot during that run, too, as well as pretty much everything else.
And the other thing the DVD doesn't highlight is the all the young, homegrown players that did the job, and the players we signed from out of nowhere. It doesnt do anything to dispel the myth that all we ever did was sign all the top, big money players - it was, in fact, Leeds who did that.

Don't talk rubbish. We were the only professional club and signed players just so other clubs couldn't have them. We had a squad of about 60 players.

You're forgetting the bit where we signed the entire Australian first team just so we could win the Challenge Cup.
I'd forgotten that too, but was reminded recently by a 14-year-old Leigh fan.
