Somebody mentioned pace from forty yards...what about length of the field from base of the scrum versus Bradford ('04?) at Knowsley Rd?

Very good player who added to his skill and talent with application...something others could benefit from.

As well as being hard as nails and unable to stop when opposing stand offs kicked the ball, he use to make me laugh when an opponent dropped the ball and he would pat them on the head whilst smiling at them.
