Apart from the wins at Batley in the promotion season & Saints the following season, what about the 30-0 win at HKR .

I was there that day and after the game the Hull KR hooligans (Minority) smashed the windows of one of the supporters coaches, That game also saw the Debut of Paul Cook for the Dons

The all in brawl at Elland Road against Hunslet when Fisher sent Clarke and Rowse on off the subs bench to join in the fight.

I never fancied myself as a spotter of future talent, but watching an A team game at Tattersfield they sent on to the field a big young lad from Cross Keys and he shot through the line as soon as he got the ball. I said to my friend God I hope they sign him. They did, it was Mervyn Hicks who was later to go to St Helens.
I also was there when Bernard Asquith laid out one of the opposition, story was he came round in DRI.

Another memory of Bernard Asquith was the day he got sent off at Tattersfield for the umpteenth time as he was walking off the pitch Bernard was in a right rage he was cursing & swearing & as he walked down the tunnel underneath the main stand leading to the dressing rooms he kicked the wall several times he then climbed up the steps to the dressing rooms and as he reached the home dressing room door he punched the door and smashed his fist straight through the door unfortunately the Dons Physio Harry Miller who had been giving treatment to an injured player was stood directly behind the door and he got the full force of Bernards fist poor old Harry had to be brought round with smelling salts and after a few minutes he was back on his feet feeling very grogy and uncertain what had happened to him
