Oh 'eck! icon_surprised.gifops: Should have posted this earlier, but it's time to ask about what memories you guys / gals have of games against the St's.

Many will say '79 - and hopefully a few of you were there (TV for me then).

What about Jacko's try at BV?

What about Hunte's shocker, or Wassa's score at Knowsley Road?

Was anyone there the last time before when we won at KR?

There's whole heap of history there, of you wil..... icon_wink.gif

Aah, the St Helens cup semi final.

I remember getting home and being 'full of it' that we were going to Wembley, then my brother who'd also been at the game (but not with me) came and all he could talk about was having a pee in the bogs next to Colin Welland.

think this was one at the back end of season when we had to win 5 out of our last 6 games to stay up, our 1st season back in the top flight under Toppo and he stopped us from being the yo yo team IIRC

Of no use unless anyone can remember but we went on a run of always beating saints home and away once a year and my best memory was at home when the ball was thrown to long on the last tackle on his 20 yard line and someone came out of the line and absolutely creamed him. He didnt know were he was and all the Saints players were running up field thinking he'd kicked it and someone simply picked the ball upand went under the sticks. Of no real use other than it was an absolute belting hit on Long and a great win...

Does anyone else remember the hit? Think it was about 4-6 years ago at Belle Vue..

Willie Poching

It happened just in front of the flats in the corner.
Long was absolutely gobsmacked that someone had finaly got to him.

Headingly, 7/4/79, with about five minutes to go in the Cup semi and Saints are about to make their second huge mistake that will lose them a game which otherwise was as tight as the proverbial fishes bum.
Their first mistake was Peter Glynn missing a rolling ball over his own line and leaving it for Andy Fletcher to touch down. Their second mistake was to give Dave Topliss half a yard too much space with the ball in hand, and to Dave that was an invitation that could not be refused. He shot through the gap and made halfway before handing it to Keith Smith who drew the full back before passing to Andy Fletcher, one of the best finishers in the game,and it was all over, we were going to Wembley.
I looked around as I celebrated, and a couple of yards away was a young Saints fan about seven years old and the look on his face was enough to break your heart, this was wrong, it wasn't in the script, he had come here to win. The moment was particularly poignant as I had seen the same look on the face of my son four years earlier when Trinity lost to Widnes in the semi at Odsal. Sadly, I would see it again a few weeks later.

regards

Back in the 60s. Alex Murphy was being interviewed on tv before a trinity game, interviewer (probably Eddie Waring) said to him, "you have not got the better of Neil Fox so far this season, what do you intend to do differently today?"
"Well I am so much faster than Fox, I shall simply sidestep him and then use my speed to get away from him"
During the game every time Murphy sidestepped so did Foxy, but Neil was so much bigger than Murphy, the result was like running in to a brick wall. By the end of the game Murphy must have been bruised and battered. And of course the mighty Trinity won the game to make the whole day even nicer.

2004 was my best memory down at Belle Vue when we stuffed then 43-22 and Michael Wainwright goes the length of the field. Some real classy tries in that game from Domic, Tadulala, and even dare i say BJ!

I remember the 1979 semi final like it was yesterday, two great teams, exciting match, drama for the full 80 minutes. Before the game I was gutted because the great Bill Ashurst had not recovered from a knee injury and he was the type of player who could lead us to victory over a great Saints team. What a team we had, how good a player was Keith Smith, or Lampy or Trevor Skerret or John Burke or Graham Idle or Toppo, not to forget the Rayne twins, Alan McCurrie, Steve Diamond, Brian Juliffe, Les Sheard, Fletch, Trvor Midgely, Steve Tinker, Paul Macdermott. The lads won it without Ashurst. I remember the final hooter going and our Chairman Trevor Woodward, who was not a small man vaulting out of the directors box, leaping over the seats, hurdling the pitch side wall and doing some sort of a mad jig on the pitch with the lads. Happy days.

I seem to remember going to Saints to watch Darren Fritz make his Trinity debut and thinking ... bloody hell we have signed a good one. Not sure but he may have scored a try down the right side from 30 yards out of a short ball from Belly. That said this could have been a dream.

The 79 semi final was without doubt the most exciting game of rugby league I've ever witnessed as a Wakefield fan. I remember that feeling, stood behind the sticks with the majority of the Wakey fans, with just a few minutes left to play and the ball deep in the Wakefield half. Glum faces and that sinking feeling all around. Everyone thought we'd blown it. Then, in the space of a few seconds, the depths of despair gave way to a euphoria the like of which I've never witnessed since, as we cheered Andy Fletch over the line. No one had a voice left in them when the final whistle went. Tears of happiness, joy beyond compare.

We had a really good team then, a really really good one. The future looked bright. But what did we know....?
