i remember that famous night in leeds when we beat them on sky, when preston, austin sharp and co ran riot in the second half,and bentos through out a silly pass and austin scored in the last few mins, cavill heugh was sent off for tripping Greg Pearce,

Grep pearce, good kicker but not that good, bit like a certain Alan Pratt..

Pearce was a great player but then he cut off his mullet and he went to pieces, lost all his magic. IS he still knocking around?

At one point he was a bit of a Golf whizz but havnt heard from him in a while. Got lots of storys about him that just cant be told on here.

lol me too.

an excellent forward was cavill,remember him well.

No disrespect to Rhino but Cavil and Wild Man Robbo best props i have seen in the blue and white of the mighty fax

These 3 should be honorary members of the club's Hall of Fame. Given the delayed arrival and early departure due to overlapping Aussie seasons, they didn't even play a full season yet they are still remembered. Probably the greatest trio of overseas players we've ever had. Along with Eadie, should be in the HOF despite not playing 200+ games like most have to before you get enrolled.

Also you have to consider their impact and the other 11 or so Aussies that came over between 1984 and 1987. They (and Brookie, god rest his soul) plucked this club from the sticky stuff and put us back on the RL map for another 16 years until our demise in 2003. I'm sure that when i'm rocking in my chair at Heath Bank Nursing home in 40 years time i will still have these great memories.

Cavill and Robbo they dont get any better.

I was honoured to watch Wildman, Cav and Smokin play for Fax. They came as no names and left as Legends that time will never forget. I doubt there are many players who have spent 1 year at a club and had such an effect as Robbo and Joe. Thanks for the memories

Brendan Hill?

He was worth the gate fee alone back in the day.

Remember the 'A' team getting crowds >1k when he played.

yep - 1,700 used to be the norm back in those days.

was amazing when got those attendances for 2nd team games. if we had them now. academy, u20 and 2nd team would pay for themselves.

Those Friday nights were great, in the days when town played home games on Fri nights aswell, we had bigger crowds regularily.
