Andrew Purcell- Big Disapointment.
Simon Booth The Athlete,
Hitro Okesene- The maneate
Fli Seru- The flying fijian

Hornes late kick into the corner for Hallas (I think) in the game against Sheffield at the end of the season, then the pitch invasion at the final whistle is probabally one of the best from a bad era.

I remember Tim Wilby standing near us in Threpenny and DDD always saying on the radio that it's great that the chairman (or whatever his job was) chose to stand with the fans, then after an altercation in a bar after a game he said it was naive of him to put himself in that situation by mixing with the fans.

yep. Remember Sharkey being tackled outside Don Valley by some Hull fans and his head came off. He was a quality mascot - better than that 'shark thing' where the costume was only half finished (a sharks head and torso, with the blokes legs in tracksuit bottoms sticking out).

he was no borris

Glen Tomlinson too.

I'm still shocked at how crap alan Hunte was for us back then. He scored an awesome try away to Sheffield (?), then did naff all.

Bit harsh, he broke his leg after just 4 or 5 games.

I seem to recall Alan Hunte rescuing a point against London in the 1st game of the season a few years back. Not sure what season it was.....Everyone screamed for the penalty and 1 point but he saw different. Not sure it was worth the fee we piad though!!

At least we got Prescott out of that deal!!

it was only our second game in superleague and our first at home. mark johnson scored it tho i was convinced he lost it in the grounding

my fave game was horneys debut at leeds in 99 when we nearly beat them - they were hanging on at the end, andrew purcell who i really liked as a player had a stormer

my least fave player was jim leatham who was a model of inconsistency, also thought temu was lazy. lots of p walsh drinking buddies at the club too

Jason Donaghue (sp) got a life ban at Leigh once. The fantastic Tunks made another great signing

Huddersfield away in the season we got promoted, fantastic atmosphere.

Anyone remember that bi shark that would get tossed about the crowd at away games and whoever it ended up with had to bring it back for the next away trip.
