Can’t remember the ford tackle, we had decent season tickets in the north stand near to the front. First few minutes right on the touch line in front of us Offiah ran past Dave Herron, left him clutching air. Sadly it was downhill after that. Also remember Tait playing for Widnes.

It was, I was there and remember it very well. Offiah went down the North Stand touch line from about 5 metres from his own line, Fordy came from the other side of the field. Those who they were running towards say that Martin actually fell over his own chin which dropped at the sight that Phyllis caught him. Biggest cheer of the day by some distance.

| Remember the CC Quarter Final at Widnes, think it was 86’ when Creaser kicked the penalty in the last couple of seconds to get a draw. Was on the pitch after like we’d just won the league! Sadly them days are long gone.

Bang on that Batley and exactly as I remember it
Me and our kid were stood on the eastern terrace that day and we got a birds eye view of Mavis (as fans on the Eastern terrace called him) bundling him into touch

| I was a western terracer in those days, with my Dad. As soon as Phil set off, I pointed to him and said to Dad that he would catch Offiah. Dad gave me one of those looks that only a father could give his son, and when the tackle was made I returned the favour… Good times.

IIRC Offiah went nearly the full field in the second half infront of the South Stand to score.

Was that when he jumped on top of the big power box infront of the flood light to celebrate?

| I remember the PF tackle well, I have obliterated Martin Offiah playing against Leeds from my memory as more often than not it was miserable

| Amazing how many fond memories generated by a game in which we were very soundly beaten. Roll forward 36 years (can it really be that long?) and imagine the fury such a loss would provoke on this forum. Time lends perspective, as they say.

| I also remember the Dave Creasser penalty to make it 10-10 in the dying minute at Widnes to bring the replay back to Headingly, Cresser said he wanted to run it as had lost track of the score.
iirc we won the replay 5-0 and was one of the toughest games i have seen, one for the conniseur.

Probably because no social media in existence, apart from the Green final!! Must admit that the people around me were seriously miffed, the team had been in camp up in the Lake District. Somebody suggested they should have stayed up in the lakes.

| Was the Widnes game with the all 26 players fighting? And Carl Gibson stamping on Offiahs leg?

Oh for a Phil Ford now old Teflon hands.
I'd even settle for an Eddie Rombo.
