Great memories Wilf, brings it all flooding back.
As you say in your piece above, it was one of those games (outside of Cup finals and high-octane derbies) that has lived long in the memory for those us now advancing in age! 
Alongside the legendary Wigan March '88 game, the Sterlo/Lewis game you perfectly describe above is my favourite 'normal' game to recall. 
Again I will point out how difficult it is to put across to anyone under 50 just how jaw-dropping it was to see these two players run out in the same match. Even by that point in their careers, still in their early twenties remember, there was an aura around them that has never dimmed to this day. Two players who were in a category above mere 'world-class', true legends of our sport.


Echo what Jake and Weaver93 say above about those booming Lewis passes out wide. The one we all seem to recall to put their winger in left the entire crowd with their jaws on the floor!! I still feel privileged to have been there that afternoon. Not only did we get to see two legends of the game, in their prime, but we came away with the win to boot, so happy day all round for the faithful. Seem to recall we had been a bit erratic in the early part of the season and Sterling's arrival kickstarted the team into life, even though he only stayed for eight games that year.


Like I said yesterday, no pressure on Will Pryce to go out and emulate those two giants, but if he could we would be ever so grateful to him!!!! Go on Son, make yourself an Fc legend in the space of one afternoon!!!   

I thought we did ok and it's where we are at, we aren't nowhere near ready yet but we are showing plenty of grit but still need to cut the errors out, think if we'd have scored at 0.0 things might have been slightly different but still encouraging times ahead for me. 

A couple of key turning points were rovers scoring off that god awful kick for their 2nd try and then us failing to score off the pryce break on half time.  If they don't score there or we score off the break I think it's a different game but these small margins are what win and lose games.  rovers were much better at exploiting them than us

There's a good after match press conference with JC on the club youtube feed.  The big man is clearly disappointed but honest, both of which are good for me.  We're not a million miles away and if we can get everyone on the filed for a few weeks I think we're a match for most in the comp.  Very encouraging as we're miles ahead of where I thought we'd be but maybe a reflection on how poor the standard is in the comp overall

and centre

Where can I find the game/ player stats for the ccq?
