The then Alf Davis at the time was once in conversation with my father , he told him , they thought the had him , a package in place , he stayed up all night awaiting a call from Jonah agent ,
needless to say the call was he had decided to stay in union , what a sight that would have been to see him running down in front of the southstand

Every sport has its legends but he's in a very evils ice club of guys who changed the landscape of their sport. Article on BBC lists Muhammad Ali, Isain Bolt, Tiger Wopds and Michael Jordan as others that did and Lomu deserves to be in their league.
Not only changed RU wingers but would we see the likes of Hall and McGilivery as England's wingers in RL (and what Big Les did at the Bulls) if it wasn't for him?

Very sad. A truly awesome athlete and a tremendous entertainer. I think it could be a long time before we see someone that powerful, fast and balanced playing rugby anywhere. I used to watch a lot of Super Rugby when it started and some of the things he did on the pitch were rediculous.
His career was cut short far too early and now his life.

You're forgetting one certain Eric Grothe!!
Not to take anything away from Lomu, but he's not the first I remember for his bulk combined with speed steamrolling opponents.
Either way it's a real tragedy for him to pass away so young. |

How many 6'5, 19 stone wingers have you seen who can run 100m in 10 seconds, with a side step, and a body swerve?  |
