Firstly I hope that you can make it to this Friday's 90's night - I have got my usual clothes so should fit in nicely!



For those that don't know, it is a fundraiser for the under 23's side organised by my good friend and great club volunteer Linda Kitson. For those that don't know Linda then come along on the night and she will be the one drooling at the presence of Mark Preston!



I have spoken with Linda and there's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes, she has managed to get great support from the players and there's some real old favourites coming along. If you want to come along then have a look at the other thread for details.



I would like you to share some of your fondest and also funniest memories on this forum so I can remind some of the players of your stories! I have put stuff like this on the forum in the past and got some great stories/anecdotes so your help would be appreciated.



I have a few interesting stories regarding some of the players but if you want to hear them then you'll have to come along!



Some of the players coming along are Greg Austin, Mark Preston, John Fieldhouse, Paul Round, Henry Sharp, Mick Keebles, Roy Southernwood, Gary Lord, Richard Smith, Wilf George & Karl Harrison.



So please feel free to comment on your favourite old players!



Cheers

Pete

Didnt a fax player do a runner in a taxi from Keighley once, Martin Wood?



Wasnt there A Brendan Hill chippy incident.

Woody did a runner from the Taverners club to his house in Streethouse.



Taxi driver came to the club the day after for his fare!

Was Henry Sharp really that small?

Tom Thumb - that's what we called him

Mark Peston in full sprint leaving people in his wake was a cracking sight. Not many wingers about like that these days... Should be a good night. I look forward to spending a night with ma boss!

I remember to going to my first ever Fax game and it was Fax v Hull Sharks. Rhino was injured and I met him for the first time (first ever pro rugby player I ever met!) - they guy was a giant and gent - will never forget that day and game. He asked me to hold his pint!

One of the few players along with Bentley and Dave Watson for me that made you stand up on your toes to see what was happening. A stunning player with ball in hand and in full flight. I still have a photo of him holding my 2 year old daughter at Central park on the wall of my office and she is nearly 20 now!

I remember when Dave Watson got banned and he came training with us at Illingworth amateur rugby league club - our coach didn't know him and after training he said "right pal i'm gonna give you a run out with the 2nd team and we'll see how you go"!

His face was a picture when we pointed out he was a Kiwi international!

For me one of the players to stand out was John Schuster. Awesome with the boot. And the drop goal at Odsal. Any player that can spoil their day is up there with the best IMO

Bet ya didn't dare spill it !!

Ron Ryan and Mike Hagan together 1n 1985 were a bit special IMHO
