Wigan Warriors • Best Wigan Tour Team

Here’s a bit of fun (the idea pinched from an Aussie fan site).

My ultimate Wigan 'dream team' tour party of (relatively) modern times.

I was watching in the 1960s, but that’s too long ago to remember it clearly. So, I’m starting at 1970. In addition, I’m not counting anyone who’s currently in the squad. Do that, and I always find it skews your judgement.

Anyway, here we go (feel free to agree or disagree) …
