| Quote ="Rugby Raider"Still remember loads from the night.
I'd left school early at 2.30pm, letter from home too saying I had to go to the Replay
, so we were there for 4.30pm and one of the first in the ground to get a prime position in the Kop. Can remember the fans coming in throughout the first half with nowhere to go as the stand was packed.
The surprise of the line up Sullivan, Dean and Duke were all over 35 at the time I think? They all played there hearts out though.
Can remember Super Taff returning the kick off with a towering kick and then suddenly meeting the bounce to get us on the attack straight away.
Toppo running into the biggest gap for his first try with the Widnes defence still chasing shadows.
Even when Stuart Wright scored, he always scored in cup final's, it still felt like it was only delaying the inevitable.
In the last ten minutes, we knew we had already won it and there's no sweeter sight than seeing Hull on the attack with the whole Hull contingent belting out 'Old Faithful'. Everyone was singing.
A Hull player, Toppo, was even named Man of the Match (still can't believe they gave it to Sinfield in 2005), although it wasn't the Lance Todd Trophy on the night.
Think the lads should do the runaround/wrap around move tomorrow at Gillingham, just for old times sake. Ben Crooks could also side step from dummy half and go in under the sticks as a personal family tribute.'"
They did twice but they didn't work!  |

Johnny Milner, prop/2nd row for Georgian. He jumped up at the fence to get a better view of the team, lost his footing and his wedding ring caught on the fence and ripped his finger out. Hard lad was John |

I've not posted on here before , but reading some of the accounts/ stories the memories came flooding back.
I was 11 and my parents took me.I can recall we arrived around kick off time and managed to get into the ground only to be in the 'kids cop' area that had walls for kids to stand on but no-one could see behind and a large group of angry hull fans were walking around the concourse behind, eventually we were all escorted around the pitch to seats at the end with a great view, will always remember the 'wall of sound' that the hull fans packed into the other 3 stands made and Grown men crying and hugging when Crooksy scored (which I happily admit to doing in 2005).
We attended the 1982 reunion dinner a few years ago (and more recently the 1983 championchip winners). Graham(Sammy) Lloyd is still adamant that the kick went over . Got some great photos with all my boyhood heroes that day.
Can remember ending up in Sportsman with Crooksy,Knocker,kemble and Dane O'hara. Great times

I was 16 at the time, and we travelled across to elland road in a reliant robin. I do remember us on the way getting caught up in the jam on the M62 and luckily we were at a junction where it happned. Unfortunately we had just passed the exit off the junction so my dad reversed down the entrance on to the motorway side to get off and I think we got to the ground with not lonjg to spare. don't remember much about the game apart from when Lee Crooks scored and turned to my dad and said 'we won the fooking cup!'
I also remember meeting Paul Woods ouside the ground after the match had finished, he was sat on a car iirc.
