I remember Charlie Williams, he was doing the clubs at around the same time as I was in the 70s and 80s [here we go again ] , though he used to be called Mel Williams back then. He was always a very funny fella. Then he got on TV and the rest is history, as they say.
That wasn't from the cup final replay was it? My dad was there, but he refused to take me to that match, since he thought there might be a big crowd [shows what he knew...]
Thinking about it, he'd have done well on here..
Is the guy on the left of the inset piccie. Nigel Wood with a pipe? and a bit higher up is that Steve Colby, needing a haircut...the one in middle is wearing a Hoodie, that must be Graham Barwick, getting a feel for the game before he joined the RFL as unknown el supremo??
Garry Schofield slaughtered your club from top to bottom in his column in a certain national newspaper, going on about what a total shambles you are.
He also criticised the sacking of Cummins as a waste of time.
So it's not just Stevo who is having a right go at you.
He tipped us in League Express to go down from day one. He does hate us outright, bar Luke Gale of course, but he must have had a tip about the 6-points or summink.
Many believe Stevo to be a man of influence, so his words are considered to be, well, oracle like, in a sense, well they are put out on national TV. Whereas Gary Schofield hasn't said anything of note, or even posited an opinion worth listening to, since around 1965.
If we cared a jot about GS's opinion we'd be upset, but we don't, so we aren't.
I've long admitted that I'm on the fence when it comes to Gary Schofield. On the one hand he was a fantastic player. On the other he is a fat, beady eyed little man, with zero insight into the game, a monumental inability to coach, coupled with an ego inflated to the size of latvia and more arrogance that Dr A Rogant from Arrogant University.
