Who can forget Cummings, after the Wide to West try, " Sean, you're not kicking at goal till you take that head off " Brilliant.

The two Grand Final winning kicks and his Lance Todd at Cardiff are definitely my favourite moments for the legend. Aside from that I will look back fondly on the more memorable comedy moments he supplied us like St Bernard's head and when he dove in for a try after going 60m or so and lost the ball. Classic Long lol.

Two more great memories to go with what's been said are firstly the Elimination S/F against Cas in 1999 at KR.Early in the second half with the score tight Ellery brought Longy off the bench (he'd had a shoulder problem for months) and with his first touch broke the line on half-way and rounded the fullback for a try which brought the house down and broke the game.To cap it off Ellery announced after the game on the pitch Long and Cunningham had re-signed.There'd been massive speculation for weeks Long was going to Wigan at the time.
Second one was the kick to win the 99 GF.I was stood right behind it and as soon as it left his boot you knew it was over-best pressure kick I've ever seen.

It only just got over the cross bar, IIRC.

The 19 page Sean Long thread on Cherry and White would suggest he is not the only Pie Eater obsessed with the player they let go for 80k and a pudding

Did he miss those kicks at Murrayfield?

Was he in tears at the end?


Still he was o.k at night with two young "ladies" on his arm.
