DavidM Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Cocker was a great finisher . Remember a fractious game in a mudheap at keighley where he burnt the opposite winger for a great try . Sneaky kicking the play the ball and diving on it trick to ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onreport Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No, Dessie was the main man that year. The other wing spot was between Leigh Smith, Lee Chilton and for a while we had Danny Ellison on loan from Wigan. The season after, the short winter season, the main wingers were Mark Johnson and Mark Wallace. thought we brought Mark Johnstone in to replace Stuart after scoring a few against us in prem final?

shaun mc Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Cocker also did the kick-through at the ptb at an away game at London to score a try where we drew 20-20 Game was on Sky, one of the best games I've seen, and All Black John Gallagher just missed with a list minute drop goal. Great following from Town fans at that game - about 1300 out of the 1700 attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Mac Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 forgot about john allen, top quality player. John "cash" Allen was a very good player, a relation of the legend that is Smiler Allen. He turned Leeds down to sign for us I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 one of the best tries of the 90 s was one at huddersfield away in the play offs . tony kay made a break in our 25 and went 10 yards clear with the huddersfield full back waiting , he looked outside and dessie was just strolling alongside him , he gave him the ball , and dessie pressed in the turbo and disappeared into the distance .

There was a huge mass brawl in that game if I remember right. On the video it shows Garry Schubert using the Huddersfield prop as a punch bag as he pulverises him all the way from centre field to the corner flag ! I recall Big Jimmy going over for a cracker in that game too. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun mc Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah think Big Jimmy scored from about 30 yards out with a few massive side steps thrown in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Schubert was a silent assassin ... He could rumble with the best on the pitch !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Great scrap that. One of the Huddersfield forwards ran at dessie, who took some kind of ninja stance and the forward changed his mind. Also Schubert smacked that player all over the pitch, even after all the other fights stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Kevin Pape? ... Flimby Thats him! Seem to remember him playing outside Fawcett, thought Leigh Smith (Strong player) came later but wouldn't swear to it. Cocker came over with Mick Jenkins who was also a superb player.

Cocker came over with Mick Jenkins who was also a superb player. Cocker was signed by Peter Walsh from Oldham, Mick Jenkins was signed by Andy platt a few years later and came over with a centre called Evan cochrane. Leigh smith definitely played the first season in the big league and went to Australia with mully when the season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Mick Jenkins ...what a player! We've had some great hookers like Roskell, McKenzie, Matty, Lunt, Limmer and I'd put him near the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some great hookers like Roskell, McKenzie, Matty, Lunt, Limmer and I'd put him near the top of the list. You could add Sice and Gorley to that list too. Even before then we had some great 9's. I grew up watching hookers like Smiler Allen and Alan Banks at Town, both great players. Colin Falcon was a good one as well.
