Well said, and as my avatar shows, I will never forget the early 90s.

The 1st game V Wigan when King Bob was a bit high on cowie, was that the year the spotty Lee Briers got us all the way to Wembley then got dropped when Bobby came back??

I've got a VHS tape with the 1st superleague season Scully in his Dire shirt, Bobby Saints, Tuigamala Wigan, Offiah London, can't remember the others.. I'm gonna get it put on DVD along with my '92 Good Friday game. I'll put on a link when its done

A bit high????

That was a bit harsh on Breirs, but we won so who cares. Similar situation to Matty Smith on the run up to 2007 Grand final

It was nearly that high he missed him... Loved bobby to bits, legend.
I remember when he kicked a goal off the touchline & some young un run on the pitch dropped to his knees & did his 'were not worthy' to King Bob. Then Goulding ran over to us on the pop side & did it back LEGEND

Against Cas when we stuffed 'em by 60 odd points. Even the ref laughed

Also when we were in the run in for the title in '96 and he ran over to pop side with signals about how many games were left to win. Absolute legend.

How on earth Bobbie wasn`t MOS in 96 is a mystery to me.
