Got the dates wrong but the games right!!! - thats what old age and nearly 30 years of watching Trinity does to you.

I remember the Wigan game Steve Ella, Mark Graham etc was great to beat them just 18 months after being hammered 72-6 by them then the week after having the pleasure of my first visit to the Boulevard!! and seeing Ella's late try seal the victory. The natives were restless that day!!

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.

First game I attended was the postponed R.L.Cup tie in 1948.I was taken to the match by my father and grandfather,I was 4 Years old and unfortunately could not go to the rearrange match but went to the next game and have been going eversince.

1st April 1991 - Drew 14 each with Leeds

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).

Mine aswell.
