| Off the top of my head
1. Melbourne Ashes test 1992: Aus 10 - GB 33 (including a good fight where Schoey caught the ref with a stray haymaker but GB still got the penalty
2. Jonathan Davies Wembley try vs. the Aussies
3. "That's not a try that's a miracle" - Queensland last min origin try in 1994
Honourable mentions - wide to west try; Willie Nelson being owned by Kidwell; Sam Burgess vs Fuifui Moimoi; Wigan vs Broncos World Club Challenge in Australia; and many many plays by Darren Lockyer (simply the greatest player I've seen)
Of highwayman fame?

Last game of the 93/94 season. My uncle scored the winning try for Donny. I have his shirt from that match hung up in my wardrobe.
3) The above game, one of my earliest rugby memories.
2) York beating Fev 27-26 at Post Office Road in the 5th round of the Challenge Cup in 2004. We beat them 4 times that season, but that was the sweetest.
1) York City Knights first ever game in 2003 against Hull KR. We lost 34-24 in front of over 3 thousand people. It was quite a change from York Wasps last game against Chorley in front of about 200 of us.
I just stuck to 3 moments I saw live, but there are countless others that I will never forget. It's what makes our game so special.

Who;s your Uncle? I know a mad keen Donny fan (well, he was at that time). I'd love to tell him.

| My money's on it being Brendan Carlyle.
Is there a prize, I hope there's a prize, there simply has to be a prize.

Brendan Carlyle. He had a glittering career at Fev Colts, York, Hull FC, Scarborough Pirates, Donny (Dons & Dragons) and Heworth.
It's what got me into the game, I saw my first game at Clarence Street when I was 2 or 3 weeks old.
TVOC, any ideas who York played around the end of the 1986/7 season?

Bingo. Though I suspect you already knew...

| He was good lad in that Donny team. They'd assembled a very useful little squad at the time. Carlyle was one of those honest players, who wasn't the most skillful, but would never stop trying.

From what my Grandad says (and my own vague memories), he was a sneaky bugger... kind of like a less skillful Tommy Martyn or Lee Jackson!

Sorry fella but unless it was Leeds (around that time) I don't carry that info. It wasn't Leeds so that narrows the possibilities down a bit.
What you need is a copy of the Rothmans Rugby League Yearbook (7th Year) 1987/88 (I think that's how they worked) - I've only got 1 to 5 and 14.

| Top non-Leeds moments... well, GB/Eng moments have been hard to come by, and I've only been present in person for one GB win against the Aussies, and it wasn't in truth, that great a game. I think I can count ones seen on TV though.
1) Wide to West - actually, more specifically, the bit where Matthew Elliott fell off his chair. Pure sporting theatre. TV.
2) Melbourne 1992, a match that delayed my acceptance of Australian domination. Worth it though. TV.
3) 2005 Tri-Nations final. Always nice to be on hand to see an upset loss for the Aussies. A really clinical NZ performance, and all the more enjoyable for not being too partisan, and thus able to relax a bit.
