Eddie has been heavily involved in Kenyan RU for years, particularly the sevens and is also a very successful lawyer in Nairobi. Fairly typical for ex-Dewsbury players, in fact. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a match. Neither will I. To get to Scarborough that evening, the journey had to be made through some heavy fog. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't make the game because of work, had to watch it in the Taveners at Mount Unpleasant. I think it was on somekind of early Sky channel. Eddie running out of the fog to score!!

Wakefield Ram Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I watched it in my local The Duke of York in Agbrigg near Trinity ground. Think I was the only one who jumped up at the end when Eddie scored the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creditwhereitsdews Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Who was the guy who jumped over the advertising boards and landed head first on the ground? Russell Smith was refereeing that night, one of his first ever games. Met him a few years later and asked him about the match and he remembered it well.
