Quote: Seventies red "Aye i remember stood in one of the two touchline stands that day which was packed to the rafters with KR fans,the atmosphere was absolutaly electric and almost brought the roof down when Hartley took a pass around his own 25 mtre line, from phill hogan i believe and went three quarters of the length of the pitch leaving Mick Burke the fulback in his slipstream.
I also remember the headlines in the sportsmail green the following week, it read, Naughton park belonged to Kr fans,the crowd was around 11,000 the majority been rovers fans.'"
My memory has Steve Hartley dummying his way out of the Widnes 25 then pinning his ears back..... I think he was chased by Hogan, just in case, but ended up dummying to Hubbard and going over to the left of the posts. Though it was 30 years ago so I might have invented some of that or taken it from other incidents
I also remember the seemingly endless injury time when Keith Ellwell kept going close and nearly burrowing over.....heart stopping stuff. Great times..........
