Phil Ford running diagonally from the Widnes try line to just short of the Leeds line to dump Offiah into touch.

Sorry sgtwilko, I'm not sure I understand your post about me trolling ?

nor me. this is off the link Sgt Wilko provided:-

Overseas recruitment was similarly feted, with Leeds desperate to recruit a top line centre. Tony Currie was approached by Canterbury which scuppered a return for the previous year's 'Player of the Season'; Dean Bell looked like he would be coming back but the lure of Kiwi Graham Lowe's appointment at Wigan put a stop to that and terms were agreed with Peter Jackson until he was tempted from Brisbane Souths to Canberra.

In the end, once the 1986 Kangaroo squad was announced, Leeds got their man; bringing over young, Cronulla superstar Andrew Ettingshausen - who was to prove a revelation - followed by his team mate Mark McGaw, who were both omitted from the Green and Gold's.

which indeed implies Leeds did attempt to bring Currie back and ended up with ET, not a bad alternative.

I have to admit my own memories of this time are pretty vague as i had only just started out as a fan at 8 years old, my earliest memory being ET flying in for some wonderful tries that season

Sorry I thought he was looking for someone to bite with his statement saying he wished he could have seen Cliffie and ET player together? ET and Cliffie obviously did play together for Leeds in 88/89.

When I re-read his post he was talking about Currie. My bad.

No probs, easy done. We had so many great Imports back then its easy to get mixed up

What about the Blackmore try (circa 199icon_cool.gif against London away, where he ran in to score backwards for the match winner....,
