Interesting to read that Robbie Paul got MOM when he played for the losing Bradford team in 1996. It's the only one I've ever heard of although the article says he was the 7th player from a losing team to receive it.

And can you imagine being at the Warrington replay final with the size of that crowd, 102,569, it must have been an amazing atmosphere!

Quote: silver2 "All the more amazing when you consider what the transport links were like at that time. No M62 and very few private cars.'"

My late Dad worked for Greenalls & he and some others borrowed a brewery van & he drove it to Bradford there we no seats in the back they sat on Beer crates, They arrived home at about 2 am

My dad worked at Crosfields and they organised a chara to the match. So many people were travelling that the road network, such as it was, clogged up and they never got to Bradfod. Had to knock on doors asking could they listen to it on the radio.
