Andy Reid says: Hi John, I found a picture of New Craven Park (see above). I thought you might like to have on your website. On the back, the date is shown as 17 April 2002 when Newcastle were the visitors. The Vikings ran out easy winners 57-33 with Ross Brady scoring a 15 point max. Cheers Andy
 
The Vikings operated from Craven Park 1995-2005.  The stadium will always be better known as the home of Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League club.

Lee Dicken
 
 
John says: -  A very young Lee! My team: Newcastle had Lee a few years after he was at Hull.  Lee never progressed further than reserve/second string but he was great to watch at Brough Park.  His method for coping with Newcastle's tight turns was to enter the bends faster than anyone else was doing and hang on.  Ivan Mauger used to do that in the 1960s but he usually came out of the bends in front.  There you go Lee someone has compared you to Ivan Mauger (well sort of).
