Tigers vs Barbarians 1987
This has just been tweeted by the Baa-baa's so thought I'd put it on here in case anyone can help...
Public Service Announcement
@JiffyRugby covers our game for @bbcrugbyunion on Saturday
He scored many brilliant tries but says the best was for us v @LeicesterTigers in 1987
He’d love to relive it but can’t find any highlights
Can anyone help?
I was in the old Member's Stand with my Dad but my mobile had run out of charge!

It was a joke, Ellis - although, actually, yes I did. I was with BT at the time and was part of the alpha and beta trials for the early models (which didn't have cameras btw!). I developed strong biceps carrying it around! (That was a joke too.)

Re: Tigers vs Barbarians 1987
Some people must have had pictures of the try though and maybe BBC East Midlands (or was it just BBC Midlands back then?) did a highlight reel as part of a news broadcast? They must have done, these were the days before Sky and the Baa-Baa games were of significant local interest.

I have video tapes of all tigers games shown on television here in the South from 1978 - 2005, including the first live televised league club game, which was at Welford Road.

I just have a picture of it in my head.
If people ask - I have always said he is the best non Tigers player I ever saw live (him and Michael Jones).

Re: Tigers vs Barbarians 1987
According to the Baabaas website (http://www.barbarianfc.co.uk/results-fi ... 1987-1988/), here are the the players who took the field that day on December 28th 1987. The score was 48-30 to the Tigers. I'm sure I was there, but as with most of the Barbarians' matches my memory is misted by an excessive intake of something or other!!

Has anybody got anywhere with this. I played in that game and would love a copy of the match or highlights. It got a great report in the telegraph. 48-30 what a game.
