Aye. I also remember so many trips to Naughton Park in hope rather than expectation, and invariably slinking away after the customary flogging

LOl, I go back that far as well. We seemed to be the only team who could give Widnes a game back in the seventies...some cracking games in the cup though - even if we did usually lose!!

Matty Blythe

Danny Bridge

Nathan Conroy

James Donaldson

Luke Gale

Elliot Kear

Brett Kearney

Mellor and Conroy to miss out. Couldn't care less about Foster.

I recall going there and losing 2-1! Hanley had a try disallowed.....



and Brutus aka Kurt Sorensen - can never forget him, he scared me when I was a nipper

How did Foster get injured? He was not playing last week.

Report is he injured his foot in training this week

most likely training ground, cant see what he would do out side of rugby, unless he has still got that bug.



Edit: Never mind northern has posted the answer haha

This phenomenon was known throughout the English speaking world as "the Stuart Wright Bounce"....







I still refer to "the Stuart Wright Bounce" today, but bloody kids nowadays don't know what I'm on about..

My “favourite” Widnes team was that great side that won the title in ’89. They had it all, a powerful, scary, skilful and incredibly quick side. They were great to watch and played the game with style if you like it fast, skilful and tough. I was utterly amazed when we drew with them at Odsal and amazingly beat them on their own ground when we were fighting to stay up that year.



Tait, Davies, Currier, Wright, Offiah, Myler, D,Hulme, Sorensen, McKenzie, Grima, O’Neill, Koloto, Eyres as a starting 13 was awesome.

Aye, they ere a truly 'great' side, and no mistake.

Makes me sad when people mention that great 89 team I never got to witness, maybe one of the best of the decade ?



Now were stuck with Jon Clarke and Chris Dean ha



Hope you bring a few on Sunday, looking for a Widnes win if I'm honest but definitely wouldn't rule out a Bulls one
