Not sure which was my favourite ever match – Reading and Arsenal defo up there – but probably Leeds away.
Result was unbelievable and took us 5 points clear if I remember rightly? Also notable for the brilliant “The team is Wigan, the miracle is Paul Jewell” feature on the front page of Monday’s Guardian sport section.
But even more memorable for the comments from a Leeds fan on a local radio phone in on the way home, who couldn’t believe they’d lost to us. The radio presenter explained why we were so good, but all the fan could reply was “Burr its Wiggun?!?!?!”
However, the BEST ever match I’ve seen has to be the play off final against Gillingham (and weirdly the highlights have just been shown on Late Kick Off). Apart from the result that game had everything…though in some ways I think not getting promoted that day was a blessing in disguise as we’d probably have come straight back down…and the last 10 years would probably never have happened
