The Challenge cup had more significance over league games in those days. Hard to believe nowadays but true. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question mate, wouldn't that be fascinating to watch? Given that I only found out from gingdong yesterday that Grandstand had been, I wouldn't have a clue about this. It's the BBC which is funded by the UK people so it's probably been thrown in the bin to save money and pay for management salaries or it's there but less accessible than KGB files in the Kremlin. Now pay your license fees. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said almost certainly not, but the RugbyLeagueCares Facebook page (which is well worth a look if you are prepared to countenance FB) recently published footage of about 40 minutes from Grandstand's coverage of a Leeds v Fev game from 1969, which was an astonishing discovery.

The Rovers won 5-0 and Cliff Lambert scored the try from an harry Street reverse pass close to the Saints line. Jack Fennel kicked the goal. The following year and once again Rovers were drawn against St.Helens in the third round who were making predictions that on a dry day they would run up a big score. Well this was Joe Mullany's finest game for the Rovers and he scored two tries and dropped a goal. Alex Murphy left the field in tears. The Rovers went on to the semi- final for a second year at Odsal and unfortunately lost them both. joe mullaney is a god the only good tiger is a stuffed tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
