During the first Glen Tomlinson era this actually happened in a game against Bramley. The game had to be abandoned after 52 minutes after Batley's number 8 cocked his leg up and had a slash against Bramley's dugout.
Don't mention Glen Bl**dy Tomlinson, he masterminded our demise on far too many occasions.
I used to find it ironic that a feisty old git like Jeff Grayshon (MBE) use to have the words
"Gallant Youth" on his back
. I distinctly remember him sitting on the chest of a prone Ian Gately punching him in the face, and the gentleman that Gately was just shrugged it off and did not retaliate. That is, until the next tackle, where he legally knocked Grayshon into the middle of next week
. It was amusing to hear the Batley fan next to me say
"what a rough dirty bu**er" Gately was.
