Young Morley and Fozzard were worth watching.
I was never a huge fan of either Harvey or Harmie (remember that radio show they had!!! ). Harvey was a better runner with the ball, but I felt that they lacked that belly of fire that was needed. It's only in recent years that we have built a solid, hard, set of forwards.

They were but morley was crazy f#*ker even back then.
It was shame fozzard kept getting injured.
I hate to admit but young foreshaw was a good player for us aswell.

Forshaw was terrible for us. Absolutley terrible. Couldn't catch a cold. I remember McGhan and or Bell commenting in an Evening post article about them working on his ability to catch (and hold) the ball in traffic.
he went off to RU and came back to the Bulls a 100% better player.

Obviously that figure has shot up, but it also shows there was a healthy structure, a hardcore base of fans, who watched us in one of our darkest seasons.
For some reason I don't remember much about that season. I started watching Leeds in 94 as a 10/11 year old and remember loving Jim Fallon and his hair but the 1st SL season escapes my memory (obviously for good reason ). 97 onwards is vivid in my memory.
Which year was it that we were denied beating Wigan in the last few minutes IIRC? Think Robinson scored. I sat in the North Stand then and it was at the now Carnegie end. That game sticks out in my head. Was that 97?

I thought he was a hardworker with potential but then again mick shaw was supposed to be the next big thing aswell

Oh he didn't shirk anything and he clearly had potential (which he later realised, sadly, with the Bulls) but boy did he have a bad case of the dropsies.

Just to add to this McDermott faked to go for a drop and then drove the ball in while the Wigwn defence was stood there looking silly. Cant remember if that ended up a try.

His hair just added to the exitement
He was excellent, I have to say. I had him on the back of shirt at the time. And my mate at the time, had Tait on his, but he went to a cheapo shop, where they use nasty letters and numbers, and they spelt it 'TATE'. LMFAO for weeks.
