may gave had this before on here--but i still find it hard to comprehend.
when were Halifax last involved in a league game where there were
no penalties awarded to either side in the full 80 mins ?

Yes it was

HULL at home

YEP

Ref Colin Morris.

He got pulled over the coals by Red Hall the week after. Seemingly you can't have a game with no penalties according to the RFL. But then what do they know about rugby??

YEP.
Always remember the after match summary on radio leeds talking about Geoff Robinsons try (trade mark run on to a crash ball 5 yards from the line).

commentator-"When that man Robinson ran onto that ball not even Colonel Gaddafi's army would have stopped that bloke from scoring a try".

The match was played at the Shay so it cant have been Geoff Robinson

Fax played st helens at headingley in 1986 for our home fixture, and played widnes at the shay the same season.

Which player had the longest.............................hair?

Peter Bell

richardson the winger

correct

easy one -

Which ex-player has starred in films along side Deniro and Pitt?

fogerty.

Which Aussie went "a bridge too far" in 1985?

Bob Arnold

Indeed.

I love that story.

Wasn't Bob Hudson found asleep in the van/minibus (in the police compound) under the seats the next morning.

Or was that just a rumer

I haven't heard that one.

Of all the things i remember about Bob Hudson it was his last game for Fax v Bradford at Odsal. (and for a few pioneering Aussies too) As they walked up the terracing back to the dressing room i applauded with enthusiasm; knowing that this was not the end but just the beginning. Glory glory days. Loved it all.


Here's a question - Who was the last Fax player to be purchased! ie, a Transfer Fee paid? I don't know the answer by the way

I have mentioned this before on another thread.
Which Halifax player entered the Brown Cow in Highroad Well with a massive scratch down the side of his nose.
When one of our party said "hey *** your supposed to pick your nose from the inside" this player threw him out of the door, whilst the door was closed.
Who was he?
One point for the player, 10 for the name of the mate who ended up on the pavement.
Clue?
Went to Widnes and owned a few nightclubs.
Not my mate the player.
And it's true.

Big Jim Mills

Yes you are right, and I promise you it is a true story.

If Big Jim said it was Christmas I would sing Jingle bells
