I believe it is still the record attendance for Fulham/London/Harlequins etc 15K+

Had a look on rugby league project and we had a prop that year called Nigel Murray played for us 4 times that year - can’t actually picture him though

Yeah Nigel that was him. 1980-81 played 45 games according to wiki.

Nigel Murray was (probably still is, although I haven't seen him in a while) about 6'3, dark hair and bearded, he used to work at Ferrybridge power station in admin, many moons ago.
I recall him kicking a long range goal in the dying minutes of a game to draw a game (but I may be wrong -funny thing memories), perhaps against Whitehaven.
Nigel was a Fev fan and really wanted to play for them, but signed for us instead.

Ronnie Campbell was referee that day, but I see elsewhere that billy thompson died this week pretty sure he reffed us week after at home

I remember him kicking that goal. Was a good prop without being a superstar. I liked him.

Last time I saw Steve tinker he working at garage in Kirk ham gate brilliant player

Memorable to me. Took a wrong turn, got done at Horseferry Magistrates and it cost me £30.00 and three points. Both fathers got paralytic and we lost one on the south bound carriage way coming back. Great game. Billy Harris and Colin Forsyth. They don’t make em like that anymore. Think Ian Van Bellen was propping against them.

Never have been good with directions then Manuel

Which garage, as I deliver parts to a couple of garages in Kirkhamgate ??
(Not sure I'd recognise him after all these years though !!)

Yes BLM, I should’ve gone by Bus. My father, “turn left here down the Old Kent Road, nenanena.

First garage before fish shop but this was a good 15 years ago !!

Steve Tinker lived for quite a time in Flanshaw. It was a council house and I'm not sure, but the house may have been "retained" by Trinityas Jan Prinsloo lived there for a while when he first joined us.

Reading this thread brought back a lot of memories
