I can remember watching this match on TV at home, but I can't remember who scored;


!967 BBC Floodlit competition, Wire v Hull KR away. Hull KR were attacking down their right hand side very close to our line.

Who intercepted and scored ?
What was the final score ?

Perhaps one for BW

.

Scorer :-Alan Aspey

Final Score:- Wire won a very close scoring game. Can`t remember the exact score without looking it up, which would be cheating.

That's impressive, he didn't play many games for us. Final score was 13-12 to Wire btw.

Here is another oldie (easy one);

He is one of my favourite SO's, played for Wire in the 60's, scored 55 tries (had to look that up), won a GB cap on the tour to NZ.

Who was he ?

Which club did he join after Wire ?

If you were watching on BBC2 in them days then you were posh, Winslade!

We were. We even had an inside toilet (unlike grandad).

Could that be Willie Aspinall? My favourite player as a little lad along with Mick Hennigan. Think Willie left us for Rochdale iirc.

I also thought it was Willie Aspinall. Played quite a few games at full-back along with Keith Affleck. My favourite player at the time was Jackie Melling.

Yes, both correct it was Aspinall.

I will make the next question a bit harder as most people will probably remember this era well

Who was the deceptively quick Wire FB that scored two tries in a mid 1980's win for Wire over our close neighbours in a John Player Trophy semi ?

Next you'll be telling me you never had to use Izal toilet paper. We had both an inside and outside loo. If you liked spiders and wanted to read a paper in peace, and without nodding off, could be considered to be ideal.

Johnno - The Ghost

Chris Ganley?

Sorry BH, MPN got that one correct it was indeed Johno, who then went on to coach but resigned after the 80-0 defeat away to Saints.


Next one could be a bit tricky:

What cunning plan did Wire use to avoid paying water rates at the HJ stadium ?

Who on earth invented Izal ? Its like trying to paint on PTFE.

Grandad use to cut up the Guardian and use that in his toilet which he referred to as 'the privy'. I only went in there when I played ball in the back yard and it started to rain... well, I assume it was rain, you could never tell what grandad would get up to.

Water well borehole.

Was that something to do with collecting all the water from the high tec guttering on the stands and using it to water the pitch?

I cannot help but ask if that's your answer to Winslades question, or your toilet facilities in days gone by? Just to be sure!

What cunning plan did Wire use to avoid paying water rates at the HJ stadium ?

They used water from a sewage farm on the HJ pitch.

Thats a bit of a crap answer BH. Perhaps I led you astray with my grandads privy ?

BW gets the points on this one. As we all know the HJ is built on the former site of a certain well known brewery which had its own well.



Next question:

Who scored 7 tries in a match for Wire ?

Brian Bevan - Twice

An extra point if you can tell me how Bevan supplemented his income when he lived in Warrington ?

Repairing George Formby's motorbike and tuning his ukulele?

barber

Last question:

A current player that made his debut in 2006 and enjoys sparring with brother Jack.

I am not entirely sure you are taking this seriously.
