Laughton: Who dropped that?
Assistant Coach: Fawcett.

Laughton: Get him off!
Assistant Coach: But Dougie, you've only just sent him on.

Laughton: I don't care ..... he's lucky I don't have a gun.

Thankfully Gareth Stephens eventually saved Vince's blushes.

Speaking as an older poster, (whose middle-aged flab has started to recede along with the hairline, so no longer the need for the baggy types) I too disliked most of the designs in the photo and what were made of "new fangled" sweaty nylon type material. I much prefered the orginial club designs and the heavy cotton shirts (see avatar)....you know the ones with the collars you turn up against the weather or perhaps on occassions collars turned up to try and look cool for the watching females.

This was a time when each club had a strong brand from easily recognisable designs with rarely a need to change strip for "away" games so the leading clubs had the ability to put fear into opposition fans as they took to the field.

And you could get a pint, a packet of crisps, a pork pie for less than half a crown.....or was it a shilling......or 2 bob I think.........or........now what was I talking about......... Ah yes old photos... now in my day all the games were in black and white.....no I am not allowed to say that am I. Oh well good night nurse!

Brilliant.



Ah man made fibres.

Ah the shell suit, still the fashion accessory de rigeur at X-Scape or in Wigan.

Team, Year and Players

You've just nicked that off the RFL facebook page.

It's Castleford in 1969. No idea who the players are though.

I know, I wanted the answer so I could post it

I'm going for Keith Hepworth & Alan Hardisty

Edwards and Redfern

Mick Redfern and Trevor Briggs.

Tony Thomas and Alan Hardisty in the background.

Part 2:

There were 97,939 in the crowd that day.

Name them.

John Smith (odds dictate there must have been one)

It was Cas v Salford, if there was one there were probably at least 50000.

There's only three families in Salford and even less in Castleford.

Brings a whole new meaning to "family club"

Fairly easy and more current one,
39 players have played in Kevin Sinfield captained Grand Final teams. 38 of those have won GF Rings, which player didn't?

Andrew Dunneman?

So a player who didn't play in the 2004 final but did in 2005 but had left or didn't play in the 2007 final?

I think Dirty Pretty Thing is right with Andrew Dunneman.

Name the team(since 1946) which has won the challenge cup and has never played in any round of the competition since???
Teams that have changed names since winning don't count

Broughton Rangers???

No,
won 1910/11 but played in next years comp I think.
I've now altered the original question to more modern times.

Bradford Park Avenue?

Is this a trick question? Is it Sheffield Eagles?

No,They have played in the competition since winning it.
The team is still playing today.

Aye true. I thought the trick was that THAT Sheffield Eagles club merged with Huddersfield to make...

You know what? Doesn't matter.
