A diversion for those going to Huddersfield on Saturday. : Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:30 pm  

The kick off is at 6 p.m. but if you arrive in Huddersfield early in the afternoon, why not call into the Rugby League Heritage Centre and have a look at some real Rugby League history. The centre is located in the basement of the George Hotel, about 100 yards from the main railway station.
In there you will see a fascinating collection of rugby league memorabilia and history: there are century old digitised photographs, trophies and cups, jerseys, boots, banners, programmes, newspaper cuttings along with plasma screen TVs showing matches some from the distant past and some more recent and from both sides of the equator too.
On sale there will be a wide selection of DVDs, magazines and books and the good news is that it is all free, well your entry into the centre that is and certainly not what is for sale!

I say it again but that is a cracking look round, its worth the admission fee to listen to the old boy who runs it down there

It's free now, so even better value.

I am not sure if Sam was a professional with Bradford. Sam Morton was a top Amateur player and coach from Dewsbury. He was also the BARLA Tour Manager on tour to Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand about 20 years ago. Sam has been a pal of Stevo's for years and he is a great guy despite being Stevo's mate. Sam is helped out by Simon Foster who is the son of the late Trevor Foster the Bradford & Wales Legend. Simon lives over in East Yorkshire but he does his best to help out when he can.
