First Rhinos game was the world club challenge game against Adelaide Rams with that Paul Sterling try. One game and I was hooked.

Best import - Marc Glanville, never did the fancy stuff but what a work horse up the middle.

Fave old ground was Wilderspool. No other ground had a snooker club that took a whole side of a stadium and still create an atmosphere.

The first team training with Oulton Raiders in the summer of 86 at Rothwell Sports Centre.

Getting Peter Fox to sign my autograph book. He signed it "All the best, Peter G Fox"

When I asked him what the G stood for he simply smiled and replied


"The Great young un,the Great!"

Classic!

It seems a bit strange that Powell didn't get more chances in 83-84. That game against Widnes was a classic - usual Widnes brutality aimed at Holmes and Webb but somehow we won.

Speaking of which here is 'Pele' in that game at McLaren Field (including the start of the YEP comment re-Powell's debut)https://www.fotothing.com/photos/ad3/ad335bc271226a1dc4158b343915302e_210.jpg" >

'The coloured second-row recruit'...

It was a different time.

They'd get slaughtered for that these days
