| Quote: Riderofthepalehorse "God that Hull v Widnes game was also etched on my memory, I think it was recorded at -6 the teams didn’t want to come out, I think they had to put Hasler in a microwave
Great memories Rider I got a great interview from a member of the FC backroom staff back then for my book what a half time that was! For those who weren't around then its worth repeating what happened.
"...... Widnes went in 6-0 up! but despite having played the first half with the snow, sleet and rain at their backs, the Hull Dressing Room at the interval was in turmoil.
The Club Doctor at the time, (I think it was Mike Dunham) was summoned by the tannoy to the Home Dressing Room and soon declared that 5 Hull players were suffering from the early stages of hyperthermia. He immediately approached the Referee and requested the game be called off for medical reasons, but when this suggestion was put to the Widnes officials they felt that they were on top and would win and so turned it down.
The half time interval was extended and as the announcers records ran out and we were treated to a second airing of a scratchy rendition of ‘Uptown Girl’, out on the terraces we all wondered just what was happening. Apparently Mike Dixon and Des Hasler were so cold that, in an effort to get their circulation going, Pete Standidge, one of the assistants that day, had to run to the Club House kitchen and get all the baking foil he could find to wrap the pair up. Finally after a break of around twenty five minutes the teams ran out into the sleet and the rain. Both sides changed their shirts, but Hull FC were for reasons unknown, still wearing the dirty wet shorts that they had worn in the first half".

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
|
| Not sure if it was the same game, but wasn't he once sent off for an "involuntary tackle" ?

The last time ever, I saw the old involuntary tackle penalty, was at the Boulevard given against Kevin Harkin, but yet again, these snippets of memories fade with time, and I could be mixed up ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

"Voluntary tackle".
Most tackles are involuntary.

I know, I realised straight away, but as it had already been quoted, I didn't bother to correct it.
Thanks for pointing it out.
