Funny how the years affect our memories!! ... when we get to a certain age!! I remember him as a stand off we signed from Wakefield, ( yes i recall the Hawick connection too) I remember him being very fast over a short distance, and was played on the wing for the cup game against his old club ( Wakefield ) and scoring in the corner ..... but I am not sure!! I remember us winning that game against the odds ..... hoping for a similar outcome ( but not expecting it ) .... I probably won't remember in a few years anyway!

But memory could be playing tricks. The year that we played Saints in the following round was '77. The reported attendance against Saints was about as accurate as any in those days but was reckoned to be closer to 18,000. As I recall there was hardly any space anywhere in the ground, including the Sugar Lane terracing (later condemned by Kirklees as being unable to withstand a large crowd). I think there will be fewer this time around Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I'd like a Saturday evening at 6pm me or a Friday night game under the lights. Call me old fashioned but I think we'd be better with a Sunday kick off. Wakefield used to prefer Sundays too until all the other SL teams decided on a Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
