Re: Halifax 70s,80's : Mon Oct 27, 2014 1:00 pm  
The 80`s must have been the era when recreational drugs were most prevalent in the game, Ive heard all sorts of stories about what some of the players got up to in that decade although i saw first hand in the 90's that it was still going on and quite widespread so it always makes me wonder how performances of players were affected for the better or worse afterall its well known as mentioned before that there were a few players probably still half cut when playing a couple of major games for us.

I can recall some article in The People or the NOTW back in the 80s/early 90s when someone alleged that Wire were on something for the Premiership Final versus Fax. Could’ve just been a massive bonus.

You obviously remember Jonny Blair and his drop goals that day. Can you remember the score, and how many he kicked?



Hmmm, 7-3 or 7-4 & he potted either three or four ;-)

I seem to remember that after he had returned to Canterbury there were rumours of him returning to us one last time.
However the Courier dismissed this by reporting on the back page that "Wildman Robbo" would not be returning to Thrum Hall as his wife wouldn't let him!
Blimey she must be nearly as fearsome as Mrs
