Totally agree.
What a game of rugby that was. I was only a nipper but still remember that game with awe. Fantastic spectacle.
Is it possible to buy a copy of that game anywhere ? |

McCracken was one hard b******.
Inspired signing by the board on a short term contract. Wish we could have had him for longer too.

I remember in Saints vs Wigan games from that year, McCracken would pummel Offiah every time he touched the ball. Offiah would poo his kecks if anyone passed to him and couldn't get rid of the ball quick enough.

Did he stand on Dean Bell's 'privates' on boxing day?
Kind of remember something happening, or was it other way round.
Skerret hit him with a elbow, skerret sent off... Guess who took the next drive in after the tap.... Jarrod McCracken, straight into Cowie & Platt..
Loved that team, Hunte, Griffiths, Ropati, Cooper, Ward...
You young un's don't know ya born, we had to put up with that team!!

Wasn't a bad side that year ... we finished equal on points with Wigan in 92-3. The few years following were pretty awful though. |

it was Steve Hampson who got the special "private" treatment (and it was the day after boxing day  ). also in that game, a fight broke out after a kick down field - McCracken ran the ball back 60m straight to where the fight was, dropped the ball and got stuck in.
golden days....we didnt win anything, but you could always guarantee a derby day fight. |

Was there meself!IIRC,one of my favourite ever tackles occured.Picture the scene-Martin Offiah lying prone,having slipped/tripped himself over  -Sonny Nickle and Alan Hunte,not believing their luck,smashed into him together,full-pelt-hilarious,er,I mean great tackle!
Could`ve sworn they had to dig Offiah out of the mud! |

He did, although his form was lame. |

Wasn't this the last ever Lancashire cup final? Maybe wrong but that's what I always thought. I remember Chris Joynt kicking through but wasn't quite quick enough to get to the ball. I think that was the closest we came to scoring. Was a great crowd and great atmosphere too. Wiganers even stayed until the end, well most of 'em anyway  |
