enotian 562 Posted October 6, 2022 Kharchenko was probably the best debut performance at Brough Park ever. I was hoping he would defect and join the Diamonds who were a third heatleader short of being any good that year. I think there was a whip round at some point to buy some of the Soviet lads gloves. Must have miffed John Wainwright whose leathers were always taped together. That's how I remember it anyway, 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oggyNZ 16 Posted October 7, 2022 I agree with that sentiment, as he even bettered the first visit of Aussie Dave Shields. I think the team were given free meals at McDonalds as I have a picture of the team and the staff outside the shop on Northumberland street. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have miffed John Wainwright whose leathers were always taped together. That's how I remember it anyway, Harchenko scored his paid max (14+1) in what was his fourth match of that Tour. He had scored 9 at Poole, but only managed 2 at Ipswich and 1 at Peterborough. Vladimir Trofimov was the most consistent for the visitors, after a "tricky" start. with a score of 3 (at Exeter in a 78-18 loss), but followed that up with 12 (at Poole), 11 (at Ipswich), 8 (at Peterborough) and 7 (at Brough). He was also captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
