Ron Wileman on Roger Millward Challenge Cup Final Hull V Hull KR 1980. Millward played on despite having his jaw broken, players were made of tougher stuff back then.

David Hobbs on Greg Conescu?, last minute of the first ashes test 1984, teeth everywhere

Bobbie Goulding on Neil Cowie.

My favourite has to be Kidwell on Mason.

Paul Moriarty on Hugh Waddell in 1988/9 (I think). Moriart just came flying in from the side with his elbow raised, straight at Hugh's jaw, smashing it to pieces.

Hugh coached our University side. We had played Salford Uni in the afternoon and went across to Leeds for that game. It was a shocking tackle. Hugh turned up for training the following Monday evening all wired up. I can't remember how long his recovery was but it took a while.

Just out of interest which Uni was that? Always struck me as a sound bloke.

After that 'Legends' game at Headingley a few years back, we got chatting to Hugh in the Supporter's Club afterwards. He was a indeed a sound bloke. More than happy to talk about his time in the game, and sign autographs. Complete teetotallar, BTW, which is a real rarity for someone who played the game when he did.
