i too remember the 1957 tries by the great man the 13-11 cup game and the 5-5 1st round cup match at headingley then the 32-7 drubbing few days later at CP .

And on the rest:



Remember all those bar the Boston days. You missed out a few of my favourites though. The Wigan player strike match in '72 and the 38-1 in '79 and 70-0 in '05. Happy days.



Remember it well, a Challenge Cup game, that one and a score from Schofield putting Leeds in command before Wigan's customary demolition of all Leeds' dreams.

Wigan V Leeds is still a monster game in my eyes.

30-14?

Correct, in front of 25,180 at Central Park on St Valentine's Day in 1988.

Not 100% sure, but I think that was my first Leeds away game.

You sure?

I think you're thinking of the game where they all shaved their tashes (inc Cliffy).

I think the Medders try was a league game before Schoey played for us.

I could be wrong though, rare as that is.

Would you like me to confirm it for you?

I'll check if you were on the list.

Yeah, pretty much.

Leeds other try scorer was Peter Tunks and the solitary goal came from David Stephenson. It was the same season as the great Leeds semi final victory over Wigan at Burnden Park in the Regal Trophy, not that it did them much good in the final despite Roy Powell's best efforts and your mate Schoey hitting a post with a drop goal attempt..

Edit: Except I've probably got the wrong Medley try altogether as the CC try wasn't down the Douglas stand side at all.



Just stick to calling people ts, it's what you do best.

I'm almost certain the Medley try was in a league game, it was a great try.

You know, coming from you, I could believe you'd have that list



How long after the JP Final and Widnes game at home was it? As I've said in the past, that Widnes game was my 1st Leeds game.

Oh that Medley try. There were so many to choose from.

JP Final - 9th January 1988
Widnes (H) - 17th January 1988
Wigan (A) - 14th February 1988

I could have mentioned Offiahs 10 tries and the drubbing at Old Trafford, but I was being courteous.



But in all seriousness the Wigan v Leeds games are ones I always look forward to. As I have said on another thread, we'll be in the supporters club (small room) from around 6 p.m tomorrow.

Come and have a chat, we genuinely love and are passionate about our rugby.

No you couldn't you were remembering Leeds V Wigan games at Headingley at that point.

I'd call you a fekkwitt but I've much too respect for you to do that.

Still, I am enjoying my small victory.

Cheers. That settles it, I'm saying it was my first away game. From memory, our 2 tries were scored at the other end from The Kop, where the main part of the Leeds support was gathered.

Go on, it won't be the first time..... surely, it can't be.

How was I to remember Medley had scored more than one great try at Central Park.

However the one I'd forgotten was indeed before Schofield in 85/6 in a 29-6 defeat. Very, run of the mill and forgetable game for some. We were never gonna win that one.



Your memory serves you well and as I don't remember the game being televised you would almost have to have been there to remember that.

Stop calling it 'The Kop'. It was the 'Rathbone Stand' as you well know!

Quite but the Medley try was memorable. A bit like Hanley's for Northern agains Fev in the CC at Headingley, but from a kick off, and not quite as good as Hanley's.

I could be wrong but didn't Medley also set up Schofield's try that day?

Whoa whoa whoa.

Which day?

Me and TVOC have already got ourselves confused, easily done, granted.

I was using an already established point of reference, to avoid any further confusion. You can see how confused tvoc and Mr 1 have got already, without me adding another stand into the mix!

That would be the day I remembered rather than the day being referred to previously.

Medley was devastating for Leeds down the right in the opening twenty in that CC match (the last time Leeds have been drawn away to Wigan in the comp as it goes.) I may be inspired to post a photo or two of those Cup tries later in honour of the great Leeds right sided second row/centre.

And again from a different angle:



And Medley's not very specatular (afterall) effort:

Almost as big as his 'ed.
