witness the evil Moriarty, by going to a popular site and searching for '1989: Leeds vs Widnes 1/2'.

After about two minutes you'll see one of the worst fouls ever committed.

And otherwise you'll see a real biff-bang game. Grima, Izzard, Dixon...

I've just watched part two. Carl Gibson had great manners. Always made sure he wiped his feet.

Broken jaw for Wadell wasn't it ?

Those were great games though, the days when Widnes had a pack that would frighten you even though you were stood 100 yards away just watching.

I think broken may understate it.

Am I right in thinking that Moriarty got 8 matches for his cowardly assault?

And in the late 80's, who was the player that got banned 'sine die'? I want to say Gary Charlton, but I think he might be an Eastenders character.

I wonder what the heck he did (apart from not playing for a big club) that was worse than Moriarty?

Happy memories.
Those were the days when I stood in the Chav free South Stand.

Hearing Vince Fawcett's name brought a smile to my face again.......those of you who recall Hull KR away will know why

Jason Donohue of Leigh. He was let off though and went on to 'play' for Leeds.
