Well done.

He didn't score many for Leeds during his short stint at the club but that was an important one.

Ah, good times. Sadly I was stuck with my leg i a cast and in the seats as a temporary measure with the whatever-people-like-that-had-before-prawn-sandwiches-brigade, so had no view after they disappeared up the tunnel.

What I will mostly remember Steve Molloy for was having a mullet that, even in the days of RL players with mullets, was an absolute classic. Business up front, party time out back.

You just don't see any proper 'taches anymore either. Not ones some scruffy herbert has grown for "movember" but proper ones, like Dave Heron and Mike Kuiti had.

Gone are t'days.

After Mike Kuiti left Leeds he went to play for Maurice Bamford at Bramley, now THAT was a combination of 'taches.

Kuiti didn't take coaching advice of Maurice, he brought his own personal coach in the form of Mrs Kuiti, we used to stand behind the dugout at McLaren Field and so did she but when she was in top form we'd have to move away for fear of her bursting our eardrums.

Fond memories of the game vs Saints where Morley got sent off at the first scrum, probably in around 98/99 when I first started going down. I know we didn't win, but we made a real game of it

Dave Heron sans tache these days. It's appalling.

I have a memory of Headingley that may be false.
Does anyone else remember the South stand car park being non-tarmac and a muddy quagmire in the wet?
I was nobbut a little lad so I'm talking late 1950's here.

When it comes to taches, Dave Creaser,Cliff Lyons,Paul Dixon and Sam Backo are the players that spring to mind from when i started going down.However, things went into decline around about the time Bobbie Goulding walked in with his bum fluff effort!

Schoey always kept his well trimmed but Paul Harkin can be added to the list.

Via Rochdale. A mullet and a tache, the magic combo!

Worst. Gameshow. Ever.




Including "Fifteen-to-one."



Srsly.

The mess I made on the pavement outside the Flying Pizza on the Headrow later that evening was a direct result of celebrating that try.

Flying pavement pizza?

Did anyone attend a GB vs Rest of the world game at Headingley ? I seem to remember Sam Backo playing just after he signed for Leeds, so that would make it '88 or 89.

I went on a Whitbread promotion - Return coach travel from the local WMC, North Stand seat and a voucher for 2 pints of bitter. Total cost - £5

Those really were the days .....

I was there. Bal Numapo, a man of substantial beardage, played for the Rest Of The World.

He got a mention in short lived ITV sitcom 'Not With A Bang'. Stephen Rea played a Barrow fan, and waxed lyrical about him.

was in 99. Stayed well in the game for a good 60 minutes but then the extra man told. Chris smith (who was a cocky f*ck at the time) scored one of the game breaking tries from a pass that was, no exageration, about 5 yards forward, was right in line with it.

I think he'd just tackled Paul Davidson, got up and gave him a left hook.
From memory, Davidson attempted some of his usual 5h1thouse tactics to wind Morley up.

Russell Smith was the ref. He gave us nothing.

Wasn't it that Morley incident that prompted Stevo to comment something like 'He's been sent off for throwing the better punch!'?

And with good reason as was evidenced in the act of scoring a try while he was still with Castleford at Wheldon Road as a defender managed to grab one leg of his shorts as he dived over ..... impressive toolage was on show, perhaps just as well scrumdown was aired well after the watershed.

Reminds me also of the time Apollo Perelini (I think) was caught on camera in the warm up before a St Helens WCC game knelt on one knee as he casually relieved himself.

Sorry for straying off topic but if anyone asks of my recollections of those two players those two images are uppermost, not sure what that says but it can't be normal ..... I think it's attention to detail, yeah that's it.

i work with chris smith at times and he's a top lad.

Been out drinking with him once funny as fook

Is that before you were tucked up in bed by 6pm. ???

After tvoc's revelation, try not to stare next time you see him!

I hope there's a password on that particular spreadsheet

i'll ask him when i see him next!!!!!
