Rory Underwood Testimonial

Post by simonp »

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move if this is the case.

I was wondering whether any members here attended the Rory Underwood Testimonial match many years ago? And if so, does anyone have in their possession a copy of the program that was available on the night? My dad is trying to get hold of a copy. I've tried eBay (shudder :smt019) but with no luck.

Can anyone help me? If anyone can give me any help or information please send me a private message, I would be very grateful for any response.

Thanks!

I was there, a game between Tigers and a "returning Lions" side in 1997 that in reality was a glorified Barbarians side including a handful of Lions tourists. Not much of a game, more a mess about.

I have a feeling that I bought a testimonial magazine beforehand only to find the magazine formed part of a programme pack, which we subsequently bought anyway. In which case I will have two copies somewhere. If I can find the spare (which bare in mind I have moved house I thing seven times since before winding up back at my parents) then its yours. Don't hold your breath though!!

Was there, but sorry don't have a program. If I recall, the only one taking it seriously (insert feigned shock here) was Austin Healy???

I was there too.. I seem to remember the opposition defence opening wide up everytime Rory touched the ball...

As for the program, I probably bought one.. my sister might still have it. I'll take a look when I come over to the UK in a couple of weeks.. but like the other guys said, don't hold your breath!

That was my first ever game!
I was dragged along by the wife who was working behind one of the Members bars.
(When members used to serve the beer and not get paid)

Sorry no programme.

My regards to the wife Ray. In those days we used to get decent service from the bar staff!

Crumby,

I'm not sure which my dad was after, but whatever it was, he's now found the copy he was looking for!

Thanks for everyone who had a look for me and sorry for wasting your time!
