Richard Gunn had a good run under Laughton, was hooker in that classic 19-0 win at Wigan with john Bentley scoring a long range special, gunn was dropped a few weeks later, he asked Laughton why and he was told "because your f**king crap"

As did the Fav, at least until certain elements were barred following an "altercation"*.

I saw all our towelings live at central park either side of that game during the great Wigan run from the late 80's to SL but missed that as my old man was running late after work and said' agh, it doesn't matter tonight son, certain walloping we have most of the first team out' watched it on SKY in amazement.. think it was where Schoey kicks it from the scrum and was it Ford? or Bentley? under the sticks. Looked to be only a handful of Leeds fans braved it that night but what a reward, still gutted we never went to this day.

Twas a good night. I remember singing as we went back up that hill to where the coaches parked back then.

I used to work on Burley road in the late 80's and used to have my dinner and a swift pint in there each day

On a Monday you would regularly see the "Mad Monday boys" guzzling ale whilst playing a few games of snooker in there before they went to the Town Hall Tavern where the serious drinking started!

Was snowing on the M62. Had a few beers in the Mustard Pot before my mate drove us over. When Bentos scored I'm afraid some arctic white bum cheeks were exposed to the Wigan fans. At the final whistle we had to invade the pitch.
Great night.

Richie Blackmore putting a few of our travelling friends to sleep in Stoggies pool room, good old days.

unbelievable win that was the more you think about it, and to nil that wigan team with the team we put out that night at Central Park. Backside exposure fully understandable
