as a slight aside there was a cricket match played on the boulevard around this time - a benefit for the late david bairstow i think. it was played in the evening and the likes of brian close, colin croft and i think a young martyn moxon played. i remember bairstow holding up the game whilst the went to the clubhouse bar, and close getting some quality stick from the threepenny. anybody else remember this?'"
Yep, I lived back of best stand then and 6 houses had there windows smashed that night with the cricket balls flying over the stand. Boycott and botham were also there iirc , I got a load of autographs that night. |

| Quote ="Gravitas"Hi I'm hoping someone can help me out here with some information on the above
I got the (or one of) signed match ball from this game for Xmas and I'm wanting to frame it but before I do I was hoping I could get hold of a press report and / or pictures from the game.
I contacted the HDM and they've said all their archive material has gone to the heritage centre so I need the exact date of the match to get the info. I know it was in 1982 but I dont know what date and the usual sources google etc havent turned it up.
Can anyone help?
Thanks'"
ive got the programme i think im a rovers fan so dont mind parting with it if you want it |

I was at that cricket match as well, stood in the middle of the Threepenny stand. Halfway through the match, a ball was bowled to somebody who gave it a right good clout, it flew past Brian Close, standing at mid on, missing him by a few inches without him having time to move a muscle. the ball had barely thudded into the boards before some wag shouted "That was close"...

He did indeed play water polo,very good swimmer was Keith.
Steve Hubbard also played along with a halfback from hull,Chester, i think.
They all played for Hull Water Polo team.A very physical sport i can tell you. |

used to share a house with someone who played water polo at a high level - very hard game, and a lot of skullduggery goes on too |
