Got that game on VHS somewhere in the loft. We played well that day.
There were two opposing wingers with similar names which Ray French commented on .
Any one remember the names ?
Derek Pyke was superb as well.
Might try and dig it out for Fred

And if I remember correctly there was a section of the crowd who gave Derek a lot of stick, nice to know things don't change

I played Hooker alongside Derek (and the other Prop was a lad call Ian Beckinsale ). They were both massive props weighing in at about 8 stone each at the time.
We also had a coach/manager who knew a thing or two about rugby and was also our Headmaster at the school. St Pey's was the school and a certain Mr Sale "Sir Tommy" was our coach. Happy days



ps Mr C, I think Derek would call himself a "Plonk loner" before a Westleyther

Sorry but Plank lane opposite Firsway Nissan until he went to the big school

. The houses got demolished in 72ish so he flit to West Leigh then. A clever lad to go with all his brawn too.

hi ......fred..just found the video of the 1971 cup final,i wonder whether you could use this on centurions t.v? and would it be better if i left them at the retail outlet on the market........thanks..

Thanks very much Eddie but I have the 71 game it's still copyrighted to the BBC though. But any more would be great, as for dropping them off anywhere would suffice thanks.
