Warrington v Widnes JPT semi 1986

Dexember 27th 1986 and Warrington steamroller cup kings Widnes at Central Park. Mark Roberts opened the scoring, Sir Les charged over, Brian Johnson stormed over for 2 belters, Mark Forster nearly had his ankle broken by Steve O'Neill to score, Paul Cullen dove over for 2 and Kevin Meadows got the other. With Paul Bishop sent off with Paul Hulme (the Widnes try scorer), Sir Bob Jackson kicked the only conversion in a 35 4 win. The last 2 tries came from the kick off. Oh and a certain Mr Sorensen got his comeuppance from Les Boyd...

Les and Kurt were great players such wonderful competitor's

[@kenjones6441]

Every team needs a Les Boyd. What a player, a bit of a nutter but that’s mental health for you.

[@bdd606]

I heard someone say the Paul Hulme was one of the two smallest men on the pitch. I saw him the other week and he's huge.

[@DHTCF]

I remember this game, frightening performance by Les Boyd

[@Moggy471]

@J G You have to forgive your wife for running off with a rugby player mate... It's only natural.

Now that's a proper Wire shirt

At times a rugby match broke out between the niggling. Paul bishop could start a fight in an empty room. what happened in the final BTW. Johnson was a very underrated full back, pace n timing. O'Neill what more does he need to get sent off?

[@curleyteeth]

Paul Cullen liked a scrap too.That Bishop was like an itch you can`t scratch.All great stuff though Graham.Jim.Liverpool.

[@sheilaworrall4867]

Paul Bishop was a top Player

[@waynehigham6504]

I agree

[@TheDodger74]

He played at Halifax for a year or so in early 90s . Great player, never a dull game with him on field think he went back to Australia cause i never saw him play again after that.

[@waynehigham6504]

@@TheDodger74 after he left warrington he signed for st helens then Halifax can't understand why saints let him go he was a really good player for saints

[@duxberry1958]

[@OGGalleryCrew92]

[@stevocharlie1821]

[@austinrhodes7650]
