Steve Hill, as told by Alan Morley: Alan Morley not scoring tries

Bristol used to call a set move from an attacking five-metre scrum down the short side with Richard Harding drawing the final man to put Alan over in the corner. It always worked like a charm. Despite teams knowing what was coming, Alan always got his try.

In one particular game, Richard decided to go for the line himself but was tackled short, lost the ball and the chance was lost.

Alan was so infuriated he went straight over to the scrum-half, who was still face down on the ground, planted his foot on his back and leaned down, shouting in his ear and pointing his finger: 'Don't you ever, EVER, do that again!' with the result that the referee gave a penalty ... against Alan for foul play against a member of his own side!

Alan was captaining Bristol in a midweek game and they were comfortably clear at the break but the winger and world record try scorer had barely touched the ball.
