Murphys testimonial week after the cup final, Brian Bevan scored
Charity football that got abandoned mid 70's when thje crowd mobbed Rod Stewart'"
I remember both of these games.
Actually ended up in the changing rooms after the Murphy testimonial sat between Murph and Brian Bevan - No idea how I got in there but I got a programme signed by both of them, I have hunted high and low to find it without success
It was weird to see Wilderspool with footie posts for the Rod Stewart game
I also remember it costing 20p to get in as a lad

| Best thread in ages
Off the top of my head.
Nigel Vagana hat-trick against Wigan my first ever game and with Cullen as stand in coach
Watching Kevin Walters in his first game warm up thinking he doesnt look ar$ed
Blowing a massive half time lead against Hudds
Giving the mightly Paul's brothers Bradford a first defeat of the season and the Penny side step
The result which meant we stayed up announced over the tannoy
A home and away season ticket for like £20
Playing Wigan in a really early kick off
Pan face pointing to where his wife was
Briers at fullback
Being under dogs and looking forward to taking on the "big" teams
The sound of the back of the Fletch being hit

Another great night game - I was just looking at my programme from that game last weekend. There was some class in that Aussie midweek team, a young Brad Fittler played that night!

| Running on the pitch at full time to get autographs and tie ups. I've still got my autograph book, my Leeds program signed by Les Boyd, Phil Blake and Andy Gregory and Dane O'Hara's tie ups from a NZ game.
Hull '83 cup game when the barrier in the Fletcher St End collapsed. Looking down Wilderspool Causeway and seeing Hull coaches 2 abreast.
Mark Jones (Hull) punching Gary Tees in front of the ref and getting a red
Fozzard vs Leeds, on our try line, taking the ball up but dropping the ball in front of Barrie Mac so he could lamp him one.
A Bradford Northern game when Parry Gordon and Ken Kelly both had their jaws broken in the same game
Gary Van Bellen dislocating his fingers and the physio popping them all back in on the half way
Standing under the Leigh Concrete sign watching Richard Henare running down the wing towards me against Cas on a sunny Saturday evening
John woods kicking a goal. He's put the ball down, turned round and kicked it even before the team had crossed the half way
Steve Hesford being the first goal kicker to use sand
Ronnie Duane, in a testimonial, taking a goal kick when the ball fell off the tee, kicking it from where it lay and it going over
Th HJ for me has been the best thing that's happened to the Wire but I pity the youth of today not being able change ends at half time or to run on the pitch at full time. Happy days.

That, along with Scully putting one on Terry Newton in an Academy final/semi, was the finest single punch I have ever seen on the pitch at Wilderspool.

| There are a lot of Johnny Warbo memories. What was the deal - autistic or just a bit mongy/special? Honest question. He seemed unaware of his surroundings/other people's feelings which lead me to the former. Does he post on here (headstalk or not).
Happy days, I guess.
