Not the greatest of players, but I think he had the game that would translate well to todays game. Very good hands for a forward and was an integral part of our last Regal Trophy win.

From Leigh, if I remember. Played 2nd row.

was`nt it his pass to forster at central park in the semi that sent us wembley

always likely to give away an interception pass.

Not a brilliant player but had a hand in both the last regal trophy win against Bradford and sending us to Wembley against Wigan.

He came on as a sub in that semi, I'm sure. My brain is telling me Martin Crompton scored the winning try. My brain may be wrong however - I do remember that Crompton played due to some bizarre domestic injury to Bishop though.

Scored the only try in the 91 Regal Final as well, if memory serves.

Yup, scored the only try against Bradford Northern at Headingley.

I should know, I was the 1st on the pitch to congragulate him...

still got it somewhere on vhs.

Allegedly, wasn't that bizarre, involving a punch and a pane of glass at his home.

Is that not bizarre? Or just not bizarre for Paul Bishop...?

You can still see Mark in action. He's down at Latchford Albion coaching the open age. Old and New players more than welcome

Wasn't it Chris Rudd who scored the winning try in the semi

I think that was in the Regal trophy semi at Central park against Widnes.

it was...did dessie sling the ball backwards and it landed in rudds arms however we won

Crompton got the first try(from a thomas pass that was about 8 yards forward!). Forster then scored the winner from another thomas pass. Oldham then had a try ruled out in the last five minutes which caused Tony Barrow to kick off with holdsworth after the game.

Good knowledge, moe

Didn't Crompton's try prompt the film star comment from Murphy?
