I remember that match. McGowan was magnificent and the only thing wrong with the game from our pov was the two late tries we conceded to make it look as if Saints were in the game - they weren't!

That's my evening sorted, thanks.

Great to see that Saints game on there, a real blast from the past. How good was our pack back then???

Can anyone remember the wet game at Odsal, between us and Saints, where Shaun Long broke through the line and attempted a 10m dive to the line?

When he hit the floor it dislodged the ball, and he slid over ball, then over the goal line leaving the ball in play.

I keep trying to find the video clip on YouTube but there is nothing!

Bradford Bulls 18-4 St Helens, 1998.

Keep an eye out for the game in question over the coming days.

I look forward to seeing that one again!!

Cheers Mick

Superb classics thanks.

I remember the 1998 game very well although I didn't think it was 15 year ago till it was pointed out on here it was 98

Where as it all gone

Would it be possible to put some of the early Bulls games on like the back to back wins against Wigan and Saints etc. Thanks in advance

Awesome. Nice one Mick.

Great work. Look forward to seeing a few more videos uploaded in the future.

My personal favourite is the victory against Leeds from the 1999 season. 2 fantastic moments in that second half. Nathan McAvoy scoring from the McNamara cross field kick and the Michael Withers drop goal to win it.

Re Saints game 1992--cheers for that,I was there.Fairbank,Watson,Summers,Mcgowan,Derek Fox et al.Great times.Peter Fox knew what type of player he wanted and had the coaching ability to get the best out of them all and blend them into a formidable unit.
Fairbank,one of my all time favourite Bradford players.
Great to see those tries again.Time flies when you are having fun.

Welcome to the club!!

I watched a bit of the 92 Saints game, great stuff. Amused to see the ref (Whitfield?) pointing to the ground for a try almost before the ball was grounded & signalling for held up over the line without a second thought. In the age of VR a number of those would have been reviewed ad nauseum. I don’t remember hysterics of jokes & disgrace back then (apart from the usual collection of numpties (who all looked identical) who stood around the dug-outs at every ground screaming endlessly).

It was Robin Whitfield. He's got a book coming out apparently that sounds like it'll be a good read. All the refs back then seemed to give tries without bothering to check with the touch judges. Can't recall having much of a problem with it really either!



We're all on here now.

There wasn't a problem; something happened, ref gave a decision, everyone accepted it and got on with life - well, more or less....

Just watched the McGowan Hat trick v Saints. The player I was surprised at was Roy Powell. Time certainly dims the memory, but my recollection of Big Roy is as a workhorse, tackle machine type forward, In this game he is a running second row man as well. Oh to have him in our pack today. Makes his untimely death at a young age even harder to accept when you see the magnificent physical specimen he was in that clip.

Agree 100% big Roy looked awesome in that Saints game as did Karl.

They'll both be up at some point in the week, fantastic memories.

Thanks pal

I'll have to watch that Saints game you've put up seen as though I wasn't born when the late Roy Powell was playing for us.
