Great thread this! Been a while since I've contributed - sorry.

Schoey is a real legend. One of those leeds players who you could truly say was a great of the game. I remember gettin peeved at the time that Edwards got so much more credit than him purely because he was wigan - great player too but not comparable to schoey.

I used to have loads of arguments with ar'kid about who'd you want more in your 13 schoey or Hanley (before Hanley joined leeds!). Great times. I argued schoey but was proved wrong I reckon!

Anyone remember schoeys length of the field interception try at cas which ruled out for a phantom knock on in the first half? He had pace then at centre.

Good old days?! I reckon so, we were so desperate to be the best werent we and always came up way short!

John Bentleys try at Central park anyone?! Think it finished 19-0 I think. Brilliant days.
Night.

The 'no try' at Cas has been mentioned on previous pages. Jim Smith made a tremendous howler! For the record, Schoey was at Stand Off by then. Maybe not the pace of previous years but his reading of the game gave him an extra few yards.

The Bentley try? Outstanding, plus 2 from Fordy - another great display from Schoey that game. Iirc 11 first teamers out injured - nobody would have possibly imagined a 0-19 win

What a random game that was and me and my old man and others who watched every game home and away missed it.that night i remember (i was only about 13) my dad saying that it was a night game and leeds have loads of players out so cos your gran has just got sky sports we will watch it there.fair to say we all regreted it after

Ha ha. Similar circumstances to me. My Mum & Dad didn't fancy it either. Thankfully Sky were showing games by then - their first being our famous Premiership victory away at Cas I think. I watched the VHS recording of both games on numerous occasions afterwards.

It's debateable whether we'd have won at Wigan had Hanley been fit. Yes, he was a better player than whoever played 13 that night (Divorty?). But did we ever show such team spirit under his leadership?

It was Gary Divorty at loose-forward that night but how many remember Matt Shaw in the second-row ?
A tremendous win in Dougie's first season.

A few beers before that game, a trip across the Pennines in a bit of snow, team p!$$ on the M62, my mate mooning the Wigan fans after Bentos scored and then the innevitable pitch invasion at the end. Good night at Central Park had by all.
