Quote littlerich="littlerich"Just slightly O/T - anyone remember Dick Fairbank trying to catch passes? If you didn't put it EXACTLY in his bread basket he used to knock on. He even used to pre-shape his arms (upper and lower forearms) at right angles in the catching position as he came in on a run. Used to crease me up

Going back a little further, Welshman David Jones who played centre late sixties would steam onto the pass so hard and fast he always broke the line, shame he only caught about one in ten passes. Still managed two caps for Wales and was a loss to Fax when he returned home.
