It's all coming back now!! Yes, at the time my Mrs worked at Hicksons with Keith Seniors best mates mum, (Nora Crowther mother of Sheffields Matt Crowther), and after the game she kept going on about how Keith was such a lovely lad and it was so out of character. But I remember B J Mather dropping like a stone, all 6'7" or so of him, and I remember thinking he isn't half as much sweetness and light as you think, Nora!!

I'm pretty sure he broke Mathers jaw and he reached over Connolly's shoulder to land the punch. To be fair to Connolly he didn't have a clue who'd thrown the punch just that someone in a Sheffield shirt had! It was the fault of the other officials who failed to tell the ref who had thrown it. Had it happened under the current rules the video ref would have informed him of the culprit and he'd no doubt have been sent off - we'd have probably gone on to win the game thus preventing Sheffields and John Kear's day in the sun at Wembley...

I think if you are fortunate to get Kear as coach, old keef will almost certainly follow!

No,what's the advantages of signing a 35 yr old who is recovering from a career threatening injury,and I say recovering because on his twitter he has said it isn't going as well as he would like,way too much of a risk,if Wakefield want him,great,he has been a great player in his day,but noboby knows if he is going to really recover from this injury,steer well clear,we have been here before.

Yes over the Wheldon Road stand. Never forgiven him for that punch on BJ mather in cup at cas, he should have been sent off, but went on to score 2 tries, they won the cup that year. Memories live long.
