Quote: Hudd-Shay "Can anyone remember that young lad called Longstaff? He was supposed to be the next superstar but just seemed to fade away.'"
I can even remember his photo in the Courier, ...... smiling as he was signing the contract! Can't remember if he actually played, but there was much flag waving and drum beating as we beat some rival big clubs for his signature.
Mark Roberts cost us £20k from Warrington but injury meant he never (or hardly) played, and shortly after signing Alan Maskill from York (I think) he tragically died in a car accident.
