Sorry if this has been posted already I don't come here much, Rugby League Night on BBC4 tonight including 78 cup final. I 've never seen it on TV cause I was there, St Helens fans giving me toffees to stop shouting LEEDS and 2p off the Leeds fans for shouting, great day and great game. Somehow think giving money and toffees to an 8 year old would be frowned up these days without a CRB check, and the worlds a poorer place for it.

Indian betting syndicate.

What happend to Willie Oulton's badge on his shirt ? All the other Leeds players had the standard Leeds (cup final) shirt with the city crest on dark material on the breast, except Willie.

Was it torn off or lost during the game ?

Did Saints winger Les Jones go on to play Prof. Pat Pending in 'The Wacky Races' ?



Was Geoff Pimblett also part-time stand-in for Francis 'Paul Temple' Matthews ?



As has already been said, how Holmesy didn't win the Lance Todd that day is anyone's guess ... Remember his 2nd half drop goal was with the left (wrong) peg and with someone hanging around his neck and it still went over ! Pure genius.

I think (from memory, so shaky) that his original shirt was torn almost the first time he was tackled, you can see it for an instant after he's played the ball on the video.

I saw that but didn't know who it was.
