Wow..Heritage = Bullipedia....thanks very much...The players name was.. Peter Goddard..he played then. Sorry to hear about Albert Halsall a giant and also a nice man. Thanks again,

Albert Halsall played for St Helens from 1966 until 1970 when he went to Swinton. You might be getting St Helens and Huyton mixed up - it is easily done!

However...we hardly played St Helens in those days due to the regional way in which fixtures were organised. We did play them on 22/4/67 at home in a Championship Playoff match. We won 15-8 but Albert wasn't playing. The next we played Saints was not until 7/2/70 when we travelled to Knowsley Road in a Challenge Cup tie only to get beat 3 - 16 - Albert was at number 10 in that match.

Albert left Saints later in 1970 to play for Swinton. Before joining Saints he played for Salford.

David Hill seems to fit the description of prop. I'll let you ask him if he needs glasses!

So were Manchester United. I think it's a matter of relativity, and their average is a bit (a bit

) better than most other clubs.

Free to a good home Adey.

Thanks also to you Lucky Luke... The props name was Peter Goddard... and the match that Albert Halsall played in was at Odsal for Swinton...but I forgot all this, well it is over 42 years ago...

RL, quality wise, was pretty sh[ii[/ite through most of the 80s as well, until the rise of Wigan. Still enjoyable though.

my 1st game i can just about remember,was a televised cup match against warrington on a sunday around 1977 possible 1978,i used to watch city but started work in 1976 so couldn't go to matches on a saturday,and was hooked from that day forth

Could it have been a game other than a Cup game? We didn't play Warrington in the Challenge Cup at home in that period. Cup games were generally televised on a Saturday on Grandstand.

I can remember playing Warrington in the cup around that time because I watched it in my bedroom on my new black & white portable!! Would have been a Saturday on Grandstand though.

We played Warrington in the Premiership play off semi final in 1978, but that was away.

could have been a saturday,might have been on holiday from work,but was defo televised,remember wires fan singing "can you here us on the telly over there"

I'm 99% sure that grandstand also used to feature league games at that time; there was also the floodlit trophy that was shown on weekday evenings.
