When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I am fairly sure only about 300. Watched the game 99% Hull kr fans and Iam also sure it was on a Saturday and England played Scotland on the same afternoon

There was a thought at the time that if the rugby experiment at BP was a success, that we may form a rugby league team and try to enter the Rugby League. It wasn't and we didn't. Strangely enough I seem to recall greyhound racing at BP, with a guy in the middle of the pitch swinging the hare round the track at the end of a rope.

The photos show quite a good attendance (far more than for the greyhounds although obviously not all stands would have been open) There were two teams of six one of which was obviously the local side as they were in black and white stripes. Sadly the opposition, whoever they were, won the trophy And NO I wasn't there! On bended knee is no way to be free - Peter R de Vries https://www.linkedin.com/pulse.....=public_profile_post
