On the Fordy tackle, rumour has it that it wasn't old Phyllis that stopped Offiah from scoring, more when Martin's chin hit the floor at the the surprise of being caught and dug a wedge out of the turf. I was right behind it on the West Stand, looked magnificent two real speedsters in full flight. Be great to see that kind of speed and footrace these days instead of the biff barge kick to the wing stuff we have nowadays.
Offiah was a total freak of a player and he also read the game so well that he popped up on the field and in areas to score tries that i have never seen any other winger do in any era.
Defenders simply couldn't get anywhere near him due to both his speed and evasiveness and plenty of those weren't slow either.
I have found this video montage of Offiah in action and it's well worth a watch even though he never played for us
