| Quote: Les Norton "When that story was published it stated that whichever player it was hadn't played or trained for his club since the diagnosis. This immediately rules out JP. There is a different Leeds player though who it COULD be, it would explain alot of the subsequent none appearances. When the story broke I instantly thought of said player, however, i could be putting 2 & 2 together and making 5.'"
That could make it Webby but as he has signed for the Cats that rules him out |

The identity of the player retiring has already been revealed in this very thread.
Knows what he's on about that Mr D.

Thanks, but there's nothing too hard about reading things on Twitter |

So let me get this right, Stuart Dickens announces his retirement on Twitter?

Because James Deighton announced yesterday on twitter that "a West Yorkshire rugby league legend" would be retiring today. I think the term legend has probably been stretched a tad in this case. |

Oh - right... although saying Dickens is a Rugby League legend (or ledgend as I saw on epic fail tattoos) is, as you say, a stretch of anyone's imagination. |

I guess if it is Stuart Dickens he is classed as a legend in Fev.
Been a great servant to their team for many years and now a Radio Leeds pundit.

Rugby League doesn't begin and end with what is achieved at the top level though - and I'd say it is appropriate to use the term given the fact that he has played over 400 games - at prop - since breaking into the Fev team as a teenager (he's now 32)...
If he had not decided to retire (I believe to take up a coaching post at Wakefield), then next season he would have more than likely have broken the all-time appearance record for Fev - which has stood since 1934. |

Featherstone legend - maybe. "Rugby League legend" - don't think so. |

But it was "West Yorkshire Rugby League Legend" not just Rugby League. Fev applies here, and he is a Legend of that club. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Rumoured to be on our radar When we signed that Pratt from featherstone wasn't he?
Also rumours of Wigan interest a few times down the years.
He's no Craig Huby mind.

I'm struggling to get my head round the meaning of the word 'Legend' in that case.
Are you saying that anyone who has played for the same club for many years can be classed as a "West Yorkshire Rugby League Legend" irrespective of ability or level?
There must be literally 100's of legends kicking about over the past century. |
