| Quote: citywolf "I remember that with Cowie and O'Connor, think Terry had a huge grin in his face.
Also think during the same game waiting for a kick off and with O'Connor right near the Fletcher end there was a chant of "Terry Terry show us your @ss"...... To which I think he lifted his shorts to show one cheek.'"
I seem to remember the 'fat bstard' chant going up and Cowie and O'Connor simultaneously turning and pointing at each other.
Got the whole Fletcher Street end laughing out loud.

| Quote: Fearless' Headguard "One good comeback that is quite well known is from Bradford Northern in the early 90s. 'Supersub' Paul Medley had a habit of closing his eyes/blinking just as the ball came to him and so as consequence knocked on quite a bit when running onto the ball. Anyway in one game Bradford were attacking the line and a forwrd knocked on from an easy pass.
Apparently at this the Bradford Coach (I think it was Peter Fox) jumped out of the dugout and screamed 'Medley you useless ****er, open yer bloody eyes!' Only problem was that Medley was sat further down the bench next to him at the time.
Medley says
Hahahahahaha

| best come back by a player has to be in the last ashes series in australia. Johnson for Aus and our Jimmy Anderson having a bit of mouth between each other.
Johnson then says " what are you cherping now mate, not getting any wickets?"
and as you can imagine. Next ball Jimmy clean bowls an aussie player. he just turns and does the freddie flintoff stand. Peach.

| There was a good one in the swimming at the Beijing Olympics when an Aussie and American were big rivals for the gold medal. There was a false start and the Aussie dived in while the Yank stayed on his blocks. On the way back to the start the Aussie moved into the Yank's lane before going back to his own. The Yank said "that was so unprofessional" to which the Aussie replied "well I wasn't going to pi55 in my own lane was I ?". The Aussie won.

| Quote: Andy Gilder "Cricket again, but there's the classic one with Viv Richards in his Somerset days and former Glamorgan bowler Greg Thomas.
Thomas snuck a couple past the outside edge, and paused at the end of his follow through to remind Viv that the ball was "that small red thing, weighs about five ounces".
Richards smacked the next delivery over the stand, wandered down the pitch and said "seeing as you know what it looks like, go find it."'"
I remember another good one involving Viv is when he hit Merv Hughes for four consecutive boundaries in one single over.
Merv’s response was to stop halfway down the pitch, fart loudly, and say to Viv: “let’s see you hit that to the boundary!”

| Another from Boulevard's Threepenny Stand circa 1980ish.
Bradford were visiting Hull and at one point Paul Prendeville fancied his chances against David Barends. Taff ran at him and Barends simply stood his gound and bounced him straight into touch. One wag from the crowd was heard to shout: "in off the black - seven away"

| Quote: cod'ead "Another come-back incident although not by a player (it was me), it was rugby related. Me and three mates had been on the lash prior to a Challenge cup game at Knowsley Road. Walking from St Helens town centre to the ground we were stopped by a Merseyside police sergeant. He lined us all up against a terrace wall and proceeded to poke each of us in the chest with his big stick and stare into out faces. He got to me and said "there's a c**t on the end of this stick". Quick as a flash I replied: "not on this end there ain't".
The big bugger whipped me down an alley and beat the crap out of me. When I came back out me mates were still rolling on the floor laughing.
What a coincidence! Exactly the same dialogue as the Sergeant Major joke that's been doing the rounds since Pontius was a pilot.

| Yesterday at Salford the Touchjudge disallowed a David Faiumu try as held-up even though it was clear he grounded the ball before being lifted up by the defenders, when we scored a legit one a few minutes later the crowd were singing to the linesman involved "are you sure its a try" to which Referee Hicks was trying his damndest to control his laughter and ended up laughing as Brough took the conversion , he knew it was a mistake but credit to him for seeing the funny side.

| Not the greatest comeback but I found the response funny. Neil Baynes was warming up on the touchline for salford at warrington. A group of young kids were calling him fat and offering him a bite of their pie. Baynes responded "I may be fat but at least I'm not small"

| I was told a tale about St John Ellis when he played for Cas against Halifax, just before half time Singe punched the Fax wiger after he had tackled him, ref called Singe over. Singe protested that the Fax player had grabbed his privates, the ref just waved him away. Just before the teams were about to come out for the 2nd half Singe walked up behind the ref and gave his privates a little tweak, the ref yelped, Singe just said, "it effing hurts doesnt it"

| A couple that stick in my memory, it was Cardiff magic weekend and a group of us were sat at the front. It was Wire v Salford and from the kick off we'd been giving it loads to Korkidas chanting "Morley's gona get ya" Korkidas drops the ball, turns round and gives us the scariest look I've ever had! Another funny moment although not with a player, we'd been to a World Club game at Huddersfield and coming out of the ground we'd all needed to empty ourselves so coming back over the grassy hill there was a couple of policewomen waiting for us. One of them asked us, "so what have you 3 been up to then?" one of the lads quickly came back with,"wouldn't you like to know". Childishly we bursted out laughing and the policewomen just smiled shaking their heads telling us to move on.
