There used to be a photo of it in the Royal Oak on Standishgate. Has anyone any connections with the Wigan Evening Post (Bilko) to see if they could get it published or e-mailed then you could all see why I react like I do whenever this topic gets raised.

Correct, and as you have said before the following year the first sending off in a CC final happened, one year too late for my money.

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

One that sticks in my mind, because of the sad circumstances in the weeks leading up to the game was Paul johnsons high shot on Jamie thackray at castleford 2003 . Steve Ganson sent him off , i seem to remember ganson saying it was the most difficult decision he'd had to make.

I still haven't seen Westwoods hit, it wasnt on the super league show was it. My mate said it wasn't as bad as that tackle from Bosc, which was shown. Can't find it on youtube

I was once at a dinner where the guest speaker was an old ref from Oldham who was TJ that day. He talked about ( a very young) Lindop pacing up and down the changing room at half time saying he should have sent him off. I think its fair to say the ref bottled it.
