That first try is awesome, you rarely beat a kangeroo defence on the first hit up and he doesnt even get touched.....

@paul150365 To be fair when Wigan had Botica kicking it didn't make much difference where the kick was on the pitch. Agree about Ellery though.

4:24 the ball boy goes and celebrates with him haha. Offiah, what a man, what a player!

Best winger ever dude was so fuckin fast you couldnt miss him or he would run the whole field and score also he was a big bloke so he was hard to put down as well from close range a natural try machine

@ianuk2008 martins tries were something special he had outstanding pace and backed up really well but my vote will always go to ellery hanley a complete allrounder who scored most of his tries in the centre of the field making it easier for the conversion

No disrespect to Martin - who was a great winger.

But I remember him as being a shade below a winger like Eric Grothe because his defense was always bit suspect. Among Eric G's highlights are these amazing run-down, where he covers 80 meters of the field to pull down his opposite winger in the opposite corner.

Still - Chariots was a great winger. Probably a bit under-rated. But like so many British players of his era, just a bit underdone in the defense department.

Firstly, great vid.

Secondly, a Great vid without THAT Wembley try, or any of the ten he put past Leeds that time (sorry, does that still hurt?)

Thirdly, as a Wiganer when growing up I didn't know any black kids, there weren't any at my school, but Martin Offiah was a hero to all of us. There were some pretty bad attitudes to race up there and probably still are, but if a kid let rip with one of their idiot parent's racist attitudes, you could point to Chariots Offiah to prove them wrong.

@2SXC2H8 And your point is exactly...? Martin Offiah is Black AND White - for Widnes. He had his best days at Widnes (despite what many Wiganers might think!) where he is still regarded as legendary. He the RL man on Sky News now

@ianuk2008

not the best RL player ever, defo best winger and despite what loads of people think had a brilliant defensive game.
