I didn’t know you were a Widnesian, IS. Even as a Wire, the late 80s Widnes side were the epitome of great rugby.

These were some classics of the garish early 90s that I didn’t buy but wish I had (and kept) now…

    I feel we are getting off topic here, but I do like the oddness of the rugby seven’s shirts. A bastard hard game, basically shuttle runs made into a sport, with daft clobber.

    A lovely selection, amps, they would all look sensational outside twickkers with a picnic, boot cuts, brown brogues and a load of hooray henrys surrounding the boot of a landrover sport…

    bosstrabs my old man was a big Lpool fan, so as a kid we used to go up to the North West and see the Reds on a Sat / RL on the Sunday. Very spoilt watching Barnes and Beardsley one day, Tait/Offiah/Davis on the Sunday. Some unbelievable games, going all over to watch games as far afield as Leigh, Huddersfield, Bradford etc.

    Always loved the Greenalls yellow…….a mate from Uni used to be a big Wire fan….plus a massive fan of Legends Warrington. Always brought back mix tapes which were superb……there was one with “Gypsy - I trance you” which was hammered out of his Golf for the most of our first year in ’92

      Warrington were shite in those days. Mostly known as a dirty team with hooligan fans. Wilderspool was known as the Zoo. A poor relation to those Widnes and Wigan teams.

      That kit was worn the first season I started watching them. Eventually Greenalls must have complained that the lettering was almost invisible on TV so halfway through the season they ‘upgraded’ the first team kit to a new version that had Greenalls in big white lettering on a big blue panel. But this being early 90s sport, some matchdays they ended up with a mismatch of new and old.

      And officially, it’s never been ‘yellow’, always primrose.

      Rugby league is the sporting equivalent of psy trance.

        You mean ‘Si trance’? Stuff like Gouryella and 9pm (Til I Come)

          bosstrabs You mean ‘Si trance’?

          I definitely do mean that, mate!

            You can pick many adjectives which apply to both equally, mate!
