Super League Show Rewind: The snazziest titles on television? BBC2 Floodlit Trophy


Recommended Posts

I hope you've seen this and if you haven't the URL is below,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/36470119

 

It's like a little bit of lost treasure and apart from Aunty thinking snazziest might be an eye/ear catching word :laugh: there's so much more. (I wonder if they use it for Glastonbury?)

 

The ref pushing the player is a classic memory, the retribution tackle of the man without the ball, brilliant. I'm going to stop there so you can choose your favourite bit.

The Rewind section of the show often gives us a glimpse of the riches in the BBC archives. that was a good one.

I loved the floodlight trophy its a fact in our neck of the woods that it's one of two trophies our neighbours the pies never won which the Leythers did in the old days and that was the floodlight trophy and the old first division .

The pies finished runners up to gain promotion and the rest is history .

Oh the good old days

I loved it too. I remember it as the games where dear old Eddie seemed on song in his commentaries and we weren't subjected to sly and condescending comments from the Grandstand team in the studio or only have half a match because because the beeb had something more "important" to show. And some really cracking matches.

 

Wonder where the Floodlit Trophy is now? I bet Maurice gave it to Wigan for  their trophy cabinet like he did with the Lancashire Cup. ;)

is it still working for you guys? it does not work for me ... (but i am out UK)

As it is an extract from a BBC programme (The Super League Show), it is probably because of your location.

 

Good old David Attenborough though, for taking a chance with a brand new competition in an unfashionable sport. It did a lot for RL's profile.

Wasn't it one of the early things in colour, too?

I greatly enjoyed it and it inspired me to fill in that survey the BBC website always asks me to complete when I go there - I put in the comments box the BBC should show some of these sorts of games. My first memory of watching RL was in the 70s on Grandstand watching Halifax (I think) - thought it was much better than the crappy RU my Newbury school made me play.

The SLS doesn't show a 'Rewind' segment in every single episode, but it is fun when they do.

 

A significant match or a player profile - short, but interesting, and the introductory graphics show Henderson Gill having a bit of a boogie too. :)

I love it. It's my favourite part of the show.

I can't believe the bit where the ref shoved the player

The late great Mick Naughton was the ref and Hull FC's Charlie Birdsall was the player, from memory.

 

I shall now have a look to see if I can watch it and also to see if I was correct.

Your memory serves you well.

 

I dread to think what would have happened had Mick Naughton done that to Paul Woods.

If you take a good look at Charlie's body language you will see a thought process at work and have some fun working out what's going through his mind right there and then.

 

But the bully is David and Goliath.........well!

The look on his face is priceless.

....  or only have half a match because because the beeb had something more "important" to show. 

I'll wager you never watched it.

Why Dessie?

 

After I posted about it not being messed about by Aunty I seemd to recall they began to do just that. And that it was this along with Eddie Waring sadly suffering from the beeb's antics and in hindsight his own condition that made me aware of BBC's attitude to RL.

 

I remember Cliff Morgan presenting the trophy once and although he was a real RL fan I could never come to terms with an ru star presenting an RL trophy.

 

Do you need more evidence Dessie?

No more evidence needed.

 

As anyone that watched it would know.

They only ever showed half a match live or towards the end of it's run, when it was scheduled late at night, only match highlights....   :bye:
