Can't remember exact game,just so long ago but it was in the era of the old South stand, and one of my earliest memories is of nearly being wiped out by the great Clive Sullivan as I sat pitchside near tryline at the old scoreboard end.He was hammered into touch by somebody and missed me by inches much to the amusement of the crowd who saw my abject terror, and suffice to say i never sat there again icon_eek.gif

Quote: Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo "Colin Dixon was a fantastic player. Had a bit of a mean streak though. I suppose Hock would be an on field comparison these days.'"


Here's a story I heard about him many years ago.

Playing against Wakey he absolutely poleaxed one of the backs. Called over by the referee, who was going to send him off, he protested his innocence saying the hit was accidental. In the meantime Terry Ramshaw, a formidable hard-man second rower,overheard this and said to the ref, "he's right sir it was an accident let him stay on the field" to which Dixon changed his plea and began walking off calling the ref a *********** for sending him off.

Think it would have been the last 15 minutes of a game in the 1987/88 season. When the stewards opened the gates (stewards to exits!) you could sneak in for free for the last 15 minutes. We'd been into Wakefield and my Dad said we'd call in and catch the last 15 minutes of the game before going home. I don't think he wanted to pay for me a full game in case I didn't like it! The only thing I seem to recall was there being a Wakefield player tripped in the corner where the big screen is now, the opposition player being sent off and Wakefield getting a penalty.

1988/89 and 1989/90 seasons would have been the first seasons I started attending regular home and away games. I remember away trips to Thrum Hall (Halifax), Wilderspool (Warrington), Station Road (Swinton) and the Watersheddings (Oldham).
