Was talking about that with my daughter yesterday. It was at The Valley when London played at Charlton Athletic's ground. It all kicked off and he tiptoed in an clouted someone from behind then had an involuntary bowel movement when a London player spotted him and came after him. Went away quicker than Road Runner.

I remember him more for the knee to Chris Perry's head when he was an Eagles player. Perry had to leave the field with blood pouring out. Nothing of note as a Wakey player though.

It could have been him but Steele Retchless was definitely not a prop - S/R and not a very big one either

The only incident that sticks in my mind involving Sodje was when he was at HKR.
I remember losing to them at Belle Vue in what might have been a cup match, I dunno.
Anyway, he went knees up defending a tackle, knocked the full back clean out with a knee, think that was Perry, and went on to score the winner.
I remember thinking at the time, that was a bit thrape, more so now that PP ain't even allowed to run properly, never mind twot somebody with a knee.

To be fair to the media that I saw they mentioned Sheffield Eagles and Hull KR

ITV's Calendar reported it similarly, Jinjer. Trinity weren't mentioned.

Just to add it was against Hull KR, not Eagles.
