Feb 1996 v Leigh Away CC - first time I witnessed what was coming. Playing to a plan - not seen in decades, attacking, attractive, expansive rugby. Robbie Paul finding his form.

March 1996 v Leeds CC semi - NOBODY KNEW (apart from Bulls faithful) what was to be unleashed that day. I still have the BBC pre-match "expert" opinions that 100% tipped Leeds for a win. Absolutely best moment in 30 years, couldn't stop crying at full time and its bring a lump to my throat as type now.

May 1996 v Saints CC Final - never gave a stuff about the result - fantastic day and burst with pride. Still can see RP scoring that second half try and Jon Scales powering down the wing.

July 1996 v Saints at Odsal - packed stadium - hairs on back of my neck stood up as the team came onto the pitch, shaking with emotion as Bulls totally disected Saints to win 50 - 22.

I cannot argue that some of your memories are up there for me too.

But for me - 1996 was the most exciting year of my 50 years following the game.

Watching the transformation overseen by Chris Caisley, Brian Smith and Peter Deakin was tantamout to a miracle given the previous decades of mediocrity and the fickle folk of Bradford who at best are difficult to attract.

There are moments from that year burned into my brains and still make me emotional now.

I doubt I will live long enough to experience anything like that again.

Game = Challenge cup 2003 v Leeds the year we won everything
Moment = have to agree Anderson fend on Connelly or can't remember gate but Scott naylor scored at wilderspool right at the end of the game for us to win after a young wire player kept the ball in
Player = volcano has to be , great player and met him a few times and was a good laugh / Sam burgess could run a great ball in ( so many to choose Stuart fielding too )

Come on you bulls ! The rebuild starts here for new memories

I started following Bulls as a 9 yr old in 1997-

3 favourite games for 3 different reasons.
1. 1997 Sheffield Eagles away officially winning the title, must have been hot because I remember being on the end of season Bulls video with my shirt off, waving the old wrist scurf around icon_lol.gif
2. 2001 Grand Final beating Wigan 37-6... most comfortable, enjoyable final victory out of all of them from start to finish. eusa_clap.gif
3. 2012 Wigan away winning 30-22 against all hope!! the Euphoria that night was unreal... got a parking ticket at Robin park after the game but didn't care icon_biggrin.gifANCE:

Favourite Moment- Brian McDermott - think it was CC semi-final against Leeds... 40yard dash followed by 3 Hooks to 3 different Leeds players!! Brilliant icon_thumb.gif

Favourite Player- Volcano

Wow,where do we start.Agree with every point made so far

So many special memories,I think the 1996 full season will always be special,the start of it all,going from crowds of about 5000 to 15000.Beating Wigan and Saints in consecutive weeks at home in the sun in that summer,I think that's when I realised we really had become a good team

So many more memories starting from there

There was this one woman at the Challenge Cup final versus Leeds at Cardiff. I swear when she turned around she nearly had my eyes out...

Oh..MEMORIES you say?

Fav game - Bulls/Leeds 1999. Wow! What a game. Record crowd, brilliant rugby and a drop goal right at the end to win it. Always remember Nathan Mcavoys try as well.

Wigan/Bulls 2012. We thought it could be our last game. We went to Wigan, who at that time were beating everyone in their path. We went there and put in one hell of a performance. The atmosphere in the crowd that night was the best I have ever experienced! What a night!

Moment - Withers drop goal against Leeds and Anderson fend on Connolly.

Player - Henry Paul

Game: Wigan Away 2012. Just because of what it meant to us as a club, and the atmosphere during and after the game were like nothing I've ever experienced anywhere else.

Moment : Mick Withers' drop goal against Leeds infront of 24,000 in '99.

Player: Probably James Lowes, for at times being such a little "bar steward" to the other team (and the ref! icon_lol.gif ) but unlike some, having the skills to back it up!

Game: Leeds cup final game when sinfield should have gone for 2. Only time I shed a tear at a game!

Moment: Wither's drop goal against leeds but anderson's hand off and deacon's last minute penalty v Wigan at VP all come close.

Player: Forshaw after he moved to LF. I never thought he would be much good there but he was immense.

Front row at the CC final in Millennium Stadium. A little the worse for wear, Leon Pryce jumping into the crowd at the end, and landing in our laps.

I think that's a memory, or is it a fantasy...

The title doesn't exclusively ask for happy memories. Can't someone inject a note of misery?
