In 1970 I was at the SCG for two matches when GB won both and secured the Ashes having been thrashed in the first match in Brisbane - GB have not won a series since.
As for the great BB. my dad was a huge fan and he was the first Hull player I remember him talking to me about his career and greatness.
Reckon you will likely be amongst the very last British rugby league fans to be able to witness an ashes victory. I'll bet when you walked out of the SCG that afternoon you had no inkling that was it for GB? Years of disappointment and endless hammerings lay in store for us!!
I was at Melbourne in '92 to witness a barely believable victory in the pouring rain that night, only for normal service to be resumed seven days later at Brisbane in the decider. Still, we enjoyed the week in-between at Surfers
Fifty-four years and still waiting the next one to come around. I feel we are as far away from winning a series against them as we ever have been throughout this whole time!
