James put Schoey away as well..................James was a superb winger and his career was cut short by injury,he would have been a great.

Hull supporters carrying Sterlo off at the final whistle at Post Office Road when he single handed turned the game round.We were winning, he was subbed and Feth got back in front only for him to come back on and change the game.He looked like a drowned rat when they carried him off and a wag Featherstone supporter said "how can a little kid like that change the game"He could change a game because he was the best,oh if only our club would think big like that now

I can remember going to Hunslets old ground, Parkside in the early 70's.
Time and dates have faded with time,perhaps some of the older posters on here may be more specific,but i will always remember the incident.
We got to the ground only to find we could'nt get through the big wooden double doors that led to a concourse of such where the turnstyles where.Along with hundreds of other FC fans who where chanting and yelling at this one elderley guy stood in front of the doors to open the effing things.When i got to the front and asked him what was the hold up he told me that no one was getting in till the police turned up to "get em" out.My question of what do you mean was interrupted by the arrival of a couple of police cars sirens wailing.
The police had a word with him and he promptly swung open one of the gates.About twenty or so Hull fans came running out with bottles of booze under their arms singing and shouting.It turned out that they had somehow got into the ground before it opened and helped themselves to the bar.Priceless,and of course they quickly melted into the ever growing crowd of Hull fans.

Having read and laughed at the memories from the 3d stand , how about best away memories...

Travelled to Odsal in the 80s & Watching this lad about 24 taking a dump at the top of the terraces in plain view of everyone, when the bobbies turned up to their amazement he said to a right fat un " you havnt got a hankie I can borra have ya officer??" well approx 200 people wet their pants laughing all at once , cos he was pished he had only done it inside his own pans laid on the floor which made it worse !!

worst memory was getting sparked cold as a 14 year old by the thugs at the wire that used to wear balaclavas and sling hitler salutes who charged the terrace across the corner of the pitch!
My dad got arrested and proper beaten for simply trying to protect me and some other young uns!! bad crew they were

My dad told me a similar story to this (obviously with Rovers) Warrington must of had a right tasty bunch back then, especially as soccer hooliganism was rife at the time.

I remember that, the fans went mental. Even Woods was embarassed.

I also remember; Sterlo at Widnes, headband and all, Wigan away when Pearce and Coleman ripped them apart.

I agree about the Warrington incidents. One of the worst there was when they threw white paint on the Hull fans as they walked from the ground.

Also Featherstone during the miners strikes. We was trapped inside a car park and the coach driver made a rush for it, telling everyone to " get your heads down, I'm going for it "

Passing out at Headingly while beating Rovers 12-4 Yorky Cup I think.

Suddenly found myself right next to the dug out with a St Johns geezer, best view I have ever had!

Coming back from Leigh in the middle of a snowstorm after a night match with no windows in the bus!
