He played in what I regard as one of the best leeds performances iv'e seen, The JPS semi v. Wigan, Wigan were full strength in their pomp, Crooks dislocated his shoulder early on, Tunks & Jackson brought their true class to the fore, Will always remember Peter Jacksons performance that day, was a masterclass out of posistion at stand off.

Scored a brilliant try in that Semi if I remember, from his wing, picked his way through and scored right under the posts !

Peter Jackson, did he commit suicide quite recently ??

He did, A few years ago, I think he went on to be part of the footy show team, came across him a few time during his time at Leeds, he was a naturally funny bloke.

Don't think he scored but ran as you described and helped to set up tries for Schofield and Maskill if I remember correctly.

Does anyone either have a link to a well known website with the game on or know where I can get a copy?

I remember watching the game on TV at the time, but haven't seen it since.

The tires, IIRC correctly, were one from Medley in the first half that I'm a bit vague on and two in the second half, one from Schoey and one from Maskill.

Schoey's was a beautiful one man effort where his dazzling pace off the mark (which was phenomenal in his early days) took him through the line, then he stood up Steve Hampson with a superb sidestep. Hampson was left clutching thin air.

Maskill's was made initially by Schoey. He ran in an arc around Kevin Iro, who managed to grab his collar. As he was dragging Schoey over, Garry managed to offload to Steve Morris, who ran infield until he got to a couple of Wigan defenders. At this point he made a basketball style pass over their heads, straight into the arms of an onrushing Colin Maskill, who went onto score.

It's a bit more complicated than that. A tragic story now used to publicise abuse of young sprtsman by people who shouldn't ever be allowed near them.

Thanks for the correction.You have to forgive the failing memory of an old fart !

I take a bow.

Recently joined the forum and couldn't resist posting in this thread. The game in question was at Burnden Park, Bolton. It was televised by the BBC with Ray French and Alex Murphy commentating. Apart from Schoey's brilliance in the second half, the tackle that Marty Gurr pulled off on Henderson Gill down the touchline was class.

Kevin Iro certainley got a lesson in classy centre play from Schoey!

I have the game on VHS and I have recently converted it to DVD.

Any chance of a copy??

I was at the game. I can be seen in the crowd somewhere on the BBC coverage (I still have the video also) in a stylish blue padded coat.

Favourite moment was Dave Heron making a break from the base of the scrum, then head butting Andy Gregory at the PTB. Or was it Paul Medley smashing Andy Gregory 5 yards backwards in one of his (then) trademark big hits? You see a theme here.

Aye superb game, was there as well. Still have video, just need to convert to DVD. Watched video a few month ago. Classic line from Ray French re boots, "They seem to wear carpet slippers these days..."

I too can be spotted on the coverage, right in the middle of the Leeds fans that the beeb kept showing. I am waving a scarf like a skipping roap above my head.
