Norwich City's Lee Croft was a very good Rugby League player.
Although he was a footballer at the weekend on Manchester City's books, he played for Abraham Guest along side me and our basic aim was to give it to Crofty in space. If we did this then he simply would have been caught and he scored some awesome tries and RL circles watched him closely.
Unfortunately, in the second or third year Manchester City took him away where his ties were cut from Rugby League altogether.
....Similar story to Ryan Giggs.
Didn't realise this, that's quite interesting. Crofty was on loan at Oldham for a bit and he was an awesome little footballer, shame he wasn't quite able to make the step up to the prem. He was a tenacious little nice bloke for a footballer as well - i can see where he gets it from now!
Back O/T, i feel that the answer is one that has been discussed many a time but won't be popular with those little clubs who have dragged us down to their level. No point getting into that argument again tho
