I was told a while ago that he was very poorly but am still shocked. He was my first hero in blue and amber in the early 80s. My dad used to work with him and he'd bring the Challenge Cup in for people to look at, but did it in a totally self effacing and humble way.

RIP John

Can we borrow that one of Saddam they pulled down in Baghdad, or are there too many slipper marks on it? icon_lol.gif

Quote: BrisbaneRhino "he'd passed the ball along all game then chose just the right moment to dummy and run'"


Indeed, at the end of his career he virtually alway passed the ball as he didn't want or need any further punishment, so on this one occasion they were all anticipating the pass and voila! TOUCHDOWN!
