Brett Kenny enjoyed a short but highly impactful one-season stint at Wigan, cementing his place in the club’s folklore. Arriving in 1984 as one of the best Australian players of his generation, Kenny’s skill, flair, and balanced running style immediately endeared him to the supporters and lifted the team’s performance. As a game-breaking stand-off, he was instrumental in Wigan’s victory in the classic 1985 Challenge Cup final, producing a masterclass at Wembley that included two memorable tries in the thrilling 28-24 win over Hull FC. That performance earned him the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match and remains one of the most iconic moments in Challenge Cup history.
