I think that might have been Murphy's first game as coach. 27-6 if I recall. Oh and on the first pic John Stringer and Kevin Ashcroft must wonder why have I kept my youthfull good looks.

Does anyone know who this is?

John Henderson. One of my Favourite players a kid. Lightning quick and great footwork.
I vaguely remember a game against Widnes at HP (Which we lost 24-16 I think), and remember him scoring an 80 yarder leaving John Bassnett and Joe Lydon for dead !
As already said though, his failure to pass when clean through from a Harry Pinner pass v Saints was heartbreaking. That would have levelled it 14-14 with us well on top !

Without a doubt this is Fax, the mighty Brett Greenwood and Keith Waites at the back I think.

| In fact, when I zoom in on this, the player at the back (centre) of the shot looks like Kevin Ashcroft and the player in front of him looks like Ray Tabern. I wonder what game it was?

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| That looks like Tommy Gittins with the ball.

whoever they were I'd bet they didn't catch him
Some great photos - those were the days. If SKY and SL had kicked off in that era who knows where we would be now
