Eighty years old this week, I believe.

Favourite memories? Mine are limited to his second coming...

Foxy on the pitch at Thrum Hall - beat Fax three times that year, twice away
The inspired signing of Roy Powell
Picking up Dave Watson after Fax sacked him
Beating Widnes home and away in a year they came second
Avoiding relegation on the last day at Hull KR
Signing Deryck Fox and Paul Newlove in consecutive summers
Stuffing Saints at Knowsley Road with a Steve McGowan hat-trick
The Regal Trophy run of 92-93
The classic against Leeds at Valley Parade
Most of the oh-so-near year of 93-94
Pretty much any time he was interviewed on Radio Leeds

Happy birthday, PG.

I fully endorse everything you say...Happy Birthday Peter...you will always be the inspirational character remembered for who you are as much as for what you achieved...a great speaker as well as an inspirational coach.

An ex player, who I wont name, said you were the best coach ever.

Good Luck to you and your family.

Many Happy Returns Foxy!

You'll never be forgotten.

That I remember well my favourite memories would pretty much be from the 93/94 season.

I have some memories from the championship winning seasons of the early 80s but very few actually related to the games cos I was seven.

But yeah, never to be forgotten. Bradford legend.

Just the mention of his name brings that rather croaky voice back to my memory.An inspirational coach whose RL knowledge was immense. Should be moved up from RL Roll of Honour to RL Hall of Fame. Happy Birthday Peter Fox.

Just remembered a game at Oldham in the last days of the Watersheddings. Might even have been the 93/94 season. We should have won it, didn't, and he was copping some abuse off the speccies. He started refunding the cost of entry out of his own pocket and told them not to go to another game.

Wasn't 93/4 as that was the famous Dave Watson last minute interception game, another great memory from his second era.

Vaguely remember Fox going onto the radio saying that 'Leeds fans know very little about the sport', or words to that effect. Just happend to say this while he was coaching........LEEDS!, good old Uncle Peter.

93-94: last minute Dave Watson interception to win it.

94-95: "Here's your admission money, now don't come back."

That 93-94 season was jam-packed with fantastic memories - such a shame it wasn't topped by toppling Wigan.

Aforementioned Watson interception at Oldham
Brimah wonder-try against Fev at Odsal
Gerry scoring against Wigan and no one knowing about it because the fog had descended.
The VP classic against Leeds with Roy's Inspector Gadget arm.
Fax putting three men on Newlove and Steve McGowan getting a hat-trick on the wing outside him as a result.
Winning in the bear-pit at Post Office Road with Newlove as waterboy
The fantastic win at Wilderspool to establish us as serious title contenders, featuring the Fox-Watson trick kick
The comeback at Don Valley after David Fraisse (!) ripped us apart in the first half
Newlove's miracle in the mud against Cas
Beating Wigan 10-6 at Odsal in front of 14,000
Putting about 100 points on Leeds in a fortnight

Think Bradford Northerm - Quest for Glory might be the first video season review the club did, well worth a watch if you can track down a copy. Cheers for the memories, Peter. Would love to watch a bit of the 91-92 season - the bit you managed, Burnden Park excluded...

Absolute legend,should never of been let go first time around

Many happy returns to you Peter for so many happy memories for me.

Peter Fox - that rare thing, an absolute true legend. Happy Birthday Foxy.

Happy birthday Peter.

The premiership win at Swinton is a big highlight alongside the great escape.

What season was it when we played the great Wigan side in the CC semi and defended all second half? Roger Simpson scored to bring us back to a score down and then Medders was held up an inch short. Even though we lost it was brilliant.

Great coach and always a good interview.

91-93: lost to Wigan twice at Elland Road, each time narrowly.

Happy birthday Foxy.So many great memories.But salvaging Hanley and putting him on the straight and narrow was one.Getting the best out of Stephenson,Wolford,Austin,Marston,Idle and the master stroke of getting Casey to Odsal for a then world record fee and putting him in that famous pack with Grayshon et al were others.

All the best.The FOX years were great.

@ikramofficial: Enjoyed the 80th birthday bash of Peter Fox. Regarded by many as 1 of Britons best rugby league coach #legend

I remember an interview in the Steam Pig with Foxy that covered that period. According to him there was a fallout between him and some of the board. I still find it bizarre that we let him go then when he was at the peak of his powers. His successor Seabourne didn't do anywhere near as well despite having a pile of cash from the Hanley sale and the likes of Woods, Ford, Hobbs, Fairbank, Harkin, Noble etc under him. It was like having McNamara take over from Noble.

Heh, don't start that one off again.
