Sports Personality of the Year 2024: Wigan Warriors win Team of the Year
All-conquering Wigan Warriors have been named BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year 2024.
They dominated men’s rugby league throughout the year, winning every major trophy available to them.
Matt Peet’s side completed the quadruple by securing the World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup, League Leaders’ Shield and Grand Final.
It meant Wigan repeated the feat of their 1994 side – 30 years on – of winning every major honour over a single campaign.
Since 2022, Wigan have won seven major trophies under Peet – despite the coach taking charge of fewer than 100 games.
Peet, speaking on BBC One, said: “It’s a great honour to receive this award – Wigan have a history with this trophy.
“The club is in good shape, we are very connected and it starts at the top with Kris [Radlinski] the CEO.
“We want success and we have big ambition.
“We try represent the town as best we can and we look how we can help our supporters – it is a great honour and a privilege to work with these guys.”
