Quote ="marillion man"It was Ian Gormley, I think he was playing hooker that day. The man in question was sat in the front row of the main stand at Thrum Hall and was a well known character at that time, played at Greetland with my dad a long time prior to the incident.
He still goes to the Halifax games as does his lad nowadays but he's less vociferous at the games, I'm not even sure which part of the ground he frequents, but I have seen him in and around the south stand lounge.
I have many many memories of Thrum Hall & some incidents & characters that used to turn up, but the Steve Ganson attack was a particular funny one for me, we were stood right at the side of that as the goal kick was being lined up.
Another was the 12,000 crowd packed in for the Jonny Blair drop goal fest against Wakey in the challenge cup quarter finals.'"
I remember both the way the Salford player cleared the barrier was a shock, scared some of our older fans which was not funny at the time the nutcase!
The Wakey game was terrific and what a crowd, rammed. We beat the money bags of their day Wakey what a top do that was i walked home to Ovenden on cloud nine that day.
