Did he stand on Dean Bell's 'privates' on boxing day?
Kind of remember something happening, or was it other way round.
Skerret hit him with a elbow, skerret sent off... Guess who took the next drive in after the tap.... Jarrod McCracken, straight into Cowie & Platt..
Loved that team, Hunte, Griffiths, Ropati, Cooper, Ward...
You young un's don't know ya born, we had to put up with that team!!

Wasn't a bad side that year ... we finished equal on points with Wigan in 92-3. The few years following were pretty awful though.

If God took up rugby league then his name would have been Vollenhoven with AJ Murphy along too

it was Steve Hampson who got the special "private" treatment (and it was the day after boxing day ). also in that game, a fight broke out after a kick down field - McCracken ran the ball back 60m straight to where the fight was, dropped the ball and got stuck in.
golden days....we didnt win anything, but you could always guarantee a derby day fight.

We won the Premiership that season and the Charity Shield.

Could`ve sworn they had to dig Offiah out of the mud!

Wasn't this the last ever Lancashire cup final? Maybe wrong but that's what I always thought. I remember Chris Joynt kicking through but wasn't quite quick enough to get to the ball. I think that was the closest we came to scoring. Was a great crowd and great atmosphere too. Wiganers even stayed until the end, well most of 'em anyway
