Warrington Wolves • Re: 20 years at the HJ stadium

That was one of the first games I remember going to and one that cemented me as being hooked on rugby league.

Widnes had just won the WCC against Canberra the week before and we dominated them.

We were top of the league at that point. We'd signed Greg Mackey at the start of the season and he started on fire. We beat Wigan at Central Park first game of the season. We were top of the league when we beat Widnes in that semi final and the next week we beat Oldham and won the Lancashire Cup. I'd only been watching for a couple of months and already saw Wire win a trophy and sitting top of the league.

Then Greg Mackey left and joined Hull and the season fell to pieces. We went on a shocking run through that dark winter. I remember it being the same time as Manchester United were going through a terrible run in the era Fergie nearly got sacked and Jim Leighton was garbage. Like United, we saved our season by getting to Wembley but unlike United we couldn't get the win.
