Kevin Guinan: 1976 - Princess Park - North down by 30 odd points with only minutes to play, they manage a couple of goals then into time-on, Malcolm Blight kicks another 2 goals during the longest time-on period (ever- seemed like anyway!), still 1 point down when Blighty takes another screamer! The siren sounds and he goes back to kick the ball from 80 meters out and his mighty drop-punt SAILS THROUGH THE BIG ONES. A moment in time 'never' to be forgotten....
