Blimey Coddy - have you had an archive weekend?



I didn't know you'd been a ref! Interesting. You'll know Jim Smith no doubt - his son posts on here frequently. Did you ever ref Nigel Wood?

I see Brendan most Sundays and if we stop for a chat there are people passing who remind him about his Fax days ,he loves it.

Get him back at the Shay to do the half time draw. He'll get a great reception.

He was going to come to the 90s reunion with Preston, Harrison and the rest but the date coincided with his annual holiday.

I knew Jim Smith, ran lines for him a few times. I've probably reffed Nigel at some point too. I think my most memorable match was Leeds v Fax 'A' at Headingley one Friday night. I'd checked the team sheet to make sure that there were no Donald Ducks etc but it was only at the toss up that I realised the two scrum halves were Ray Ashton & Gary Stephens. That made for an interesting evening I can tell you.
