Right, lets see:
Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"No, I think that one was a night match. The one I was talking about was a Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps tvoc can help, he usually has a good memory of these things.'"
Already dealt with above.
Quote Gotcha="sgtwilko"That was a great night and great days! SS full of fc fans! no bother! it was a cold night(i think)
I remember it been half way between the sticks and the touch line to right as you face the western terrace. perhaps slightly nearer the touch line.'"
The Backo try was slam dunk under the sticks at the Eastern Terrace end of the ground. In addition there can be no confusion with any other try Backo may have scored for Leeds as ...... eh there weren't any.
Quote Gotcha="gulfcoast_highwayman"I'm sure you're mixing up to different games against Hull. The Backo try with half of Hull hanging onto his back I recall winning a tight game. The comeback win featured Brooke-Cowden and Medley coming off the bench, and Deadly Medley scoring a hat-trick. He got man of the match for something like 30 minutes play, IIRC. Next week, Reilly picked Brooke-Cowden to start. He really, [ireally[/i didn't like Paul Medley.
All of this is from my aging memory, of course. I will happily bow to your superior knowledge if I'm wrong.'"
Yes one of us is getting mixed up.
The game I think you are recalling was against Bradford Northern in the Yorkshire Cup 1st round at Headingley in the 1988/89 season. And here's why; Brooke-Cowden and Medley were the subs that day - Check. The following game Reilly picked Brooke-Cowden to start - Check. (Incidentally that following game was a 32-0 home win V St Helens with Slammin Sam making his Leeds debut.)
Nah then, Paul Medley only scored the one try hat-trick in his Headingley career and that was at home V Castleford (January 198icon_cool.gif in a game he started rather than coming off the bench. I think what secured his MOTM in the YC game V Bradford (from the bench) was he literally turned the game on it's head by scoring one long range try and making a huge break for another by Carl Gibson both down the left hand flank in front of the Southstand heading towards the Western Terrace.
