looking forward to it, also might see some footage of a decent Leigh side.

I can just see peawapp answering the phone, "....and you can bugger off as well"

they are also showing the film this sporting life starring richard harris

bloody hell it's getting worse

I shall be watching he probablly got the game more national coverage than anyone else and he was passionate about the game.

It looks like theres only peawapp not watching it.

He will have to watch it to give him scope for complaints tomorrow.

i will be watching simply cause EW was so for leeds in the 1971 final and we stuffed them his voice at the end thought he was goin to cry great man though

I'm sure it'll be more entertaining than the footy tonight lol

Wasn't it Eddy who couldn't come to HP without mentioning 'The Dark Satanic Mills' which gave us our fanzine name?

I agree with you entirely peawap. Eddie Waring also commetated for It's a Knockout and he treated RL with the same reverence. He made it out to be a joke game, played by idiots. Maybe most people on here are too young to rememebr him, but he set back RL even more than Richard Lewis has....and that's saying something

how can one post contain so much rubbish

He not only loved the game but also managed Dewsbury during the war years. He put a lot in to bring the game to the notice of others and but for him i doubt it would have been on the BBC. I wont be watching it but I will tape it for later in the week.

I saw it, and Eddie Waring did more than anybody else to promote the game in the early years of TV. He also managed Dewsbury and Leeds with quite a measure of success, so for someone to say he was a joke is naive to say the least. OK, he promoted himself as well, which didn't do him any good, but he was steeped in the game. And I'd love for Peawapp to try and do a commentary, because it's NOT easy trying to think on your feet, give an unbiased view, and entertain at the same time. I'm also gonna watch the classic final, and the film after.
