it wasn't on the telly, because the bbc thought it would be a walkover, as we were in the 2nd division.

You're confusing it with a few seasons earlier, in the Peter Williams & David Cruikshank era, when we beat them in the league (not on TV) and in the Regal Trophy within the space of 3 weeks.
11th February 1996 was without doubt our finest hour since the 70's - ask any fan of another side, they all loved that one. I was working in Leeds at the time and after a few celebratory beers in Salford got a lift back to Leeds and arrived at the Skyrack in Headingley at 10:00. As me and a mate walked in, a chorus of 'Salford, Salford' was sung by around 50 lads, most of whom we did not know, but who were Lids & Bradfurd fans who were celebrating themselves. A memorable day indeed.
That & the first Grand Final win against Leigh. Last year, we knew it was all about the franchise. Back then, the whole future of the club depended on that game - I can honestly say I was dreading the match, just in case.
And finally, last Bank Holiday Monday. Hangover's galore, but all in a good cause
