A bit of bouncing in the lineout too!
Things were 'different' back then.
I was at the Brewery field when JPR had his face split open by the kiwis, dirty, dirty feckers

I remember that tackle on jpr. Should have been banned for life. Bet he never told his grandkids about that one

JPR was FAR from a saint, he was a real dirty sod as well.

And a horrible twat of a bloke as well (my job has bought me into contact with him on a few occasions, he was seen riding a bicycle around the area for a long while after one of those occasions )

It shows he may have died as the result of an internet hoax.

More than 1 Steve Harris
Harris magnum Harris, not guitarist

Just seen on an FB thread that Steve Harris, formerly of Harris Performance Products, lost his battle with Parkinsons and passed away on Wed 12th June. There must be a large number of motorscyclists in the 70s/80s/90s and beyond that had cause to thank the Harris brothers for making frames that alllowed them to use the horsepower of their ill-handling Suzukis and Kawasakis in safety.

My experience of Steve Harris was that he was a grumpy sod who didn't want to take your money, Lester, on the other hand, was more than happy to relieve me of my money.

He spent 4 years on Sarf Today so he was known outside t'Yorkshire. Seemed like a nice chap.

What did Willy Shakespeare say? 'Some are born great, some achieve greatness and others have greatness thrust upon them'. I suppose her greatness, or celebrity to stay in keeping with this thread, was thrust upon her in the most unfortunate of circumstances.

Fair play to her turning a negative into a positive, if not for her, but for others.

Not a bad innings for an old biker with a colourful history.

Very brave lady ad let's be honest ; for a dying lady she was still incredibly beautiful! and Not pale, drawn and wasted like one might expect a bowel-cancer victim to appear!! Great Respect for doing what she did before her time ran out!!

I know he was only a Jock but poor Andy Goram deserves a mention
