i have recently bought Kevin Ward's biograpghyt and thhis guy gets a few mentions. Irecognose his face, but don't remember him playing against us (Warrington). He comes across as a bit of a nutter, from the Tuuta/Gibbs mould, if not moreso.

Is he as mental as the book implies?

hell yes

he used to live across the road from me and to say he was strange is putting it mildly

One of many RL books sitting, unread, on my bookcase at home. I really should set aside more reading time!
