Quote: Old Feller "Bobby Goulding missing a last minute goal to win the game for Saints. We won 11-10'"


To a chorus of 'Bobby beats his wife' (three lions tune) from the Southstand - referring to revelations in the papers earlier that week. That was a night with a fantastic atmosphere in the Southstand.

Another one to remember but for all the wrong reasons was the Premiership semi-final against Hull - where John Gallagher bottled catching the bomb right at the end and we lost the game from the resulting try.... I never forgave him for that, I was only a kid at the time, and had no understanding or sympathy for the hard time he was apparently having at Leeds, or for the after effects of the spear tackle - I just thought he was a spineless, gutless, ginger, Union pansy..... And that's being polite.

Bobby Goulding's missed goal is a good call. Even the North stand erupted after that.

Some others :

Beating Cas with an Academy side at Headingley, when Bluey was coach.

Danny Ward's drop goal.

Sinfield's touch line conversion to beat Warrington at Headingley in 2008(?)

Matt Diskin's try vs Wigan at Headingley in 2004. JJB scored 2 in that game IIRC.

Calderwood's try vs Wigan at the JJB from the 20m tap.

Garry Schofield's debut vs Auckland as I suddenly realised what Leeds would look like with a world class centre. Also his intercept try vs Cas in the Yorks Cup Final. I wish I could see that again for the first time because he literally charged onto the pass at full speed as though he was an attacking player and so was out of view when the pass was made. The only similar moment since in terms of surprise was McGuire's try in the WCC vs Canterbury.

That Wigan game 94/95 was one of the best I've seen for pure entertainment and the result.

Against us, Martin Offiah scoring a try for Widnes rounding players on the outside as though they weren't there. I'd never seen pure speed like that before. Also Henderson Gill in the first game I watched had me (and the Leeds defence) mesmerised, and in the same year Des Drummond destroying us and terrifying the defence every time he got the ball in the year they were Champions.

What is this ? A happy thread on Southstander, and one that's not been derailed by the usual "may Dad is bigger than your Dad" stuff we see.....surely my eyes deceive me !! icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Des Drummond's "touch down" try in the JP Trophy Semi Final at Fartown....how it was awarded i will never know (I think that won the BBC's try of the season too).

Think GCH mentioned the Schoey try at Castleford after being sin binned, I've never seen a set of fans go so mad when he scored.

2003, we were right in line with Sinny's kick behind the posts, and the moment it left his boot it was over.

My first real hero in Blue and Amber, ET, how he used to just glide across the pitch was amazing to see.

24-24 v Hill KR in the CC Semi Final, how we didn't win that game I will never know, especially as they were down to 12 men.

Scott Donald's try against Saints in the GF 2007, it gave me goosebumps and I was crying like a baby at how excited I was when he scored.

There are so many more....I could be here all day icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: TheNo36 " Now, easy to say 13 years (crazy it is that long ago) on and for those watching and those even who were there, who realistically expected him to land the kick?'"


I'll admit I wasn't confident. Easy to forget after what he did in later years but his kicking back then in 2003 wasn't as good/consistent. Just looking at the video you can see a clear difference in his technique.

Another Sinfield moment. The Tansey Magic weekend try is often talked about but my abiding memory is of Sinfield out of nowhere busting out a cartwheel in celebration.....god knows where that came from a010.gif

1978 CC quarter final v Bradford Northern. John Atkinson leaving defenders for dead down the north stand side. Official attendance of 18k though I reckon there were more present than the subsequent GB v Aus test where the crowd was given as 32k. Atkinson's tries, and the one in the 7-2 semi final win against saints the previous year, made me a fan for life.

I didn't think he would land it at the time. Took a tremendous amount of bottle, and character which we obviously came to see time and again down the years but it wasn't so evident up until this point. Must have been a real sinking feeling for the Saints players behind the sticks who i would guess thought he would miss too!

The lover.'"


Both those were in titanic struggles in typically awful weather. Another memory from the QF V Bradford was Willie Oulton laughing as he lined up the final conversion from bang in front. Apparently one of the retreating Northern forwards had said 'Don Fox missed one of these.' Oulton didn't.

The Atkinson try in the semi at Central Park is still one of my favourite Leeds team tries albeit now only from fading memory - only 38 years ago .... really how did that happen. I can still see Steve Pitchford hit up and offload, Neil Hague dancing across field, Les Dyl arcing to the left and Atky dropped off inside streaking across the muddy mess to score under the sticks.

By comparison already forgotten this season and it hasn't even officially finished yet.

Yes to both questions! Did it the week before. Worst part was getting the runs after a dodgy chinese. If anyone has ever had a full leg cast and had to rapidly get on the toilet they'll know what I mean.

Pretty much how I remember it, except that I think it was Cookson who offloaded out of a 3 man tackle. Could easily be wrong though. Central Park, not my first game but the first one I saw that wasn't at HQ. 38 years, sheeesh! actually, thinking about it, it's 39!

Yep, 39 it is. Would love to see the video of that game again, especially the performance of the Leeds front row Harrison, Ward and Pitchford, magnificent to a man. Re Cookson/Pitchford - I started scrap booking one day short of a month after the semi-final so I think I'd struggle to find confirmation now unless anyone else out there remembers.

I think it was 1986 when Cliff Lyons landed a drop goal from 40 yards out, the ball was still rising as it went over the crossbar towards the old scoreboard end. Never seen a drop goal like it since
