Quote: BP1 "Reckon you will likely be amongst the very last British rugby league fans to be able to witness an ashes victory. I'll bet when you walked out of the SCG that afternoon you had no inkling that was it for GB? Years of disappointment and endless hammerings lay in store for us!!
I was at Melbourne in '92 to witness a barely believable victory in the pouring rain that night, only for normal service to be resumed seven days later at Brisbane in the decider. Still, we enjoyed the week in-between at Surfers
I was also lucky enough to be at the three 1959 Ashes matches in England which was the last time we won them in England. Tommy Harris and Johnny Whiteley played in that series.
Was also there at the '92 Melbourne game where Schofield had a memorable outstanding match - perhaps the best I have ever seen him play, in GB's thumping victory. Paul Eastwood played on the wing and 8 Wigan players started with their players forming the whole forward pack.
Alas I was also in Brisbane to see the Ashes not regained once again.
