Stew's Famous Knock-On

[oliver]

This is one of my Golden Outlaws memories and i've not reminded Stew about it for at least 2 weeks so I thought i'd put it in this here nostalgia section .....

The story began with Stew taking the ball up and making a break sometime in 2001 (I think) ......... not just a break but a defence busting split with the field ahead. At the time Stew was a slender pacey winger and had open field with the try line begging, it was gonna be a beauty. His knees were pumping ...... only they were pumping too hard and too high - so high that he knocked the ball out of his hands and knocked on.

Absolute genius.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

There are some details missing that develop this story.

1. It wasn't just a break it was an intercepted pass so there was no defence at all.
2. It wasn't just knocked on I managed to juggle it for at least 5m probably more before finally completing the knock on
3. It was against Rotherham in a pre season game, a team we had never beaten.
4. We lost not sure on the exact score it was something like 22-26 but I know for sure that a score under the posts and a kick would have won it

Not that anybody ever reminds me of this incident.

That's nearly as funny as some idiot dislocating their shoulder whilst showboating with a dive under the posts and landing awkwardly on the ball and missing about 6 weeks of rugby as a result. I can't remember who it was though

Or nearly as funny as the Cov lad gooing with the line begging...
