I thought he was binned and then sent off for walking back slowly following the interception? The yellow card came out when he was about half way back and when he continued to walk back instead of off the pitch the red followed. That's how I remember it anyway.

Was it not Stuart Littler?

Blobby Goulding was winding the wakey fans up for that entire game...i remember him sticking to fingers up at us all after Salford scored their first try!

I think Justin Brooker secured his place in my all time wakefield 13 when he smacked Blobby in the face!

The wakey shirt John Harbin was waving above his head after that game was my mates shirt, which had Adam Hughes name and number on the back...good thing he didnt hold that up!

You could be right actually. He was prob giving Russ Smith some abuse as well.

Here we go, good old RL project website comes up trumps.

Goulding, Holroyd and Littler sent off for Salford.

Look at that Wakefield team!

My least favourite Salford moment is at the Willows in 2002, when we were winning 22-12 with 5 minutes to go and managed to draw 22-22!

I seem to remember Salford keeping the ball alive on the last tackle for about 2 minutes before scoring the try to draw level!

I left that game thinking relegation was on it's way!

Micheal Platt I thought he came from Cas academy?

No he's a Salford lad.

That game was also his debut. What a match to make your debut in and at 17 years old too.

still without doubt one of my favourite games ever, had it all, the result the crying with laughter at goulding and the end of that totally weird and frustrating season, which strangly i dont think we have ever fully recovered from.

I shook Brooker's hand that night [in Mustangs, I cringe to admit as a thank you for his work on the nutjack. Was also told he got the better of the afters in the tunnel. The game was a classic of Harbin's 'battle 'em and battle 'em some more' approach to coaching.

you did well after surviving relegation i would not have been capable of saying the words that night!

oooh just thought of one henry paul making his debut, wasnt that against salford?
16 all and he did it al himself? or was that oldham?

Bull**** in the programme ? That would never have happened in my day

Whatever happened to the KKK!

Mick you ought to write a piece for the programme..............
oh I forgot you've done that before...
Kompost!!!

Blobby was sin binned then Justin Brooker said something to him when he was walking off, Blobby threw a ball at JB and the fight was on! which led to bobby getting sent off, couldnt have happened to a nicer guy!!

Ahh - you're still with us then!

Right - last chance.

Anyone got any thoughts on the Salford game - any abiding memories they wish to share, which can be personal.

Please post soon as this is being put together over the weekend!

I remember that over the last few years it's always freezing we normally get nilled in 1 half or both and that once there was a dead bird impaled on the fencing round the pub next to the ground!

Also remember going in that pub once and being charged 2 quid to become a member then leaving about ten minutes later after a very quick pint.

Or Alfie Songoro? having an absolute nightmare at full back.

Or throwing away a ten point lead in the last 4 minutes to end up drawing.

Just wanted to say 'thank you' to all those who replied on this thread.



There are some really good quotes in here, some of which will now feature in the match-day programme on Sunday!

The first feed-back recieved suggests that there could be a rich mine of talent here!



Cheers all - and if you fancy being featured in the next programme (and there are plenty more of you with good stories to tell), see the thread [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=394562Memories of Wire Games[/url
