Exiled Townie Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Here is a great image from the UK in 1966, of Miss Minnie Cotton, aged 57, remonstrating with players in a brawl against her beloved St.Helens. After being removed from the field by police, Miss Cotton said "I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself, I'll never do it again." Several weeks later she had to be escorted off the field again by police for hitting an opposing player with her shoe.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Best one I ever saw isn't on here. Apesi Toga for Rochdale Hornets v Swinton. He's bursting through two Swindon tacklers whilst trampling another one under foot. I think it came second in a poll of sporting photographs one year about 1966. A pub I used to go in had a life size copy of it as you walked in the door, very scary. Toga was a great Fijian forward who went back down to Aus to play for Saint George and died tragically young in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
