Went to a Sportsmans Dinner at Doha Rugby Club out here in Qatar last Thursday. Jiffy was the guest speaker and had some decent stories, Les Boyd got a mention about a bust up with Kurt Sorenson.

Really good night....................Friday was a write-off.

lets hear it then

I thought Qatar being an Arab country was dry?

From what i understand mate, they can serve in hotels only.

No the issue is being a Muslim not an Arab. There are Christian Arabs. In any case Egypt is a predominantly Islamic country but Sharm El Sheikh runs with ale as I can testify to

I think I'm still a member of the Doha RC ... Certainly played in their Gulf 7's comp.

Booze but no pork.............how daft is that.

Similar to the 'New' Kerry Katona.

The story went something like this…………..

I made my debut for Widnes in an U20’s game against Warrington. Warrington had a bloke called Les Boyd (I cheer along with a few Aussies) who was returning from injury. Les was an absolute f8888ing nutter and during his career got sent off about 18 times, all of course for mistaken identity. I think he was also the first man to be sent off in State of Origin. Playing for Widnes was a bloke called Kurt Sorenson (I load of Kiwis cheer) who was a hard as f8888ing nails. After about 20 minutes Boyd hits Sorenson square on the jaw with one of the best punches I’ve ever seen, and Kurt hits the floor. The Ref runs over to Kurt with Les standing over him and starts to reach for his pocket. Kurt starts to get up and grabs the Ref by his arm and says

“Don’t send him off Ref……… He will be going off later, but I'll decide when”

I've heard that story before That said, can't remember ANY occasion myself when Boyd was put on his 'arris.

yeah I cant remember Sorenson even squaring up to Boyd one on one.....

Like Boyd said himself at a sportsmans when asked why he disliked Sorenson so much
"he just always picked on the little guys" was his reply...

thats closer to the truth than Jiffys tall story which has been said about Jim Mills, and Mike Nicholas to name two others...

He tried, Biscuit, in the Regal Semi @Wigan in 86/87 (to be fair, I think he broke Boydies nose), but Les had the last laugh by absolutely smashing Kurt the Skirt all over the place, in the said incident. IIRC Boydie was eventually subbed , but still won MoM.
