The JP semi at Bolton was the match Crooks did his shoulder and effectively ended his meaningful playing career. And I still have it on video. Difficult to watch these days though with Roy Powell and Peter Jackson no longer with us.

You still have it on tape?

Quality.

the win bonus was up that day! Jackson was outstanding, his first game at stand off, it was a coaching masterstroke (or was it maurice bamford)

I am on telly loads on that one. Right in the middle of the Leeds fans they kept showing, I am twirling a scarf around.

It was a corking game. Schoey scored a belting solo effort and set in motion a fantastic team try for Colin Maskell.

It's a part of our game that has sadly disapeared, like the moustache and the bad perm.

Tansey tried to revive it a bit back. I hope he continues his quest down under.

I don't know when he looked most fed up, after the injury at Burnden Park



or when pocketing his 10% sign on fee as it were in those days having left his beloved (but bankrupt) Hull.

Yes, we saved their club (more or less) by signing two playes for world record fees within a few months of each other.

Were they ever grateful? Were they 'eckers like!

Also oin the JPS Burnden Park game, as well as Crooks's shoulder, I also think that Peter Tunks got injured after Ray Ashton accidentially nutted him in the groin, and he wasn't the same for the rest of his spell with us.
