Dave Heron already had a nickname ... Tetley's. Roy once tried adding a Fullerton to his Dickinson to get a game in '85. |

underrated player Heron, great hands, pretty tough, but lacked size even by 80's standard. how good would he have been playing in a competitive side. |

Wasn't Heron's nickname 'Flipper'? |

Dave Heron was the quickest loose forward in the game. He would regularly run down wingers for fun and the wingers in his era were flyers.
The scorer of arguably the greatest non try 'scored' at Headingley - ruled out so the referee could send off Graham Eccles and Trevor Skerrett fighting in the back field.

Fairly obviously one of my all time favourite Leeds players. Saw him score some very special tries, and he was a great cover tackler. In reality he would have played 6 these days, which he did eventually move to just before he left Leeds.
If I could lift one player out of my Leeds watching history and plant him in the game now it would be DH. It was players like him that made the game so exciting to watch. Every time he touched the ball you thought something could happen. |

Thought it was "Josh"? As in Joshua Tetley. |

Yeah I'm sure it was Josh or Fish Lips.
Great player. Fox signed him as a 34 year old for Northern and he was still quick. He did a couple of seasons with us.

Can't say I ever bumped into Heron downing pints.
Plenty of other Leeds players from that era though who seemed to spend their entire lives supping in one boozer or another when not playing. |

I'll never knock Wayne after he scored the winner for us in the 1987 Yorkshire Cup Final.

It was a mile forward. You were the RFL's pets back then as well.

We were pioneering the modern day "flat pass".
Anyway Cas started that brawl on halftime and should've all been sent off

| Quote: Bullseye "
Wayne is indirectly responsible for the dent that still exists in my old bedroom ceiling at my parents house. Me and my mates missed the WA coach to a Saturday afternoon Leeds/Widnes cup tie (think it was JP cup) and instead got tanked up in the Grange before watching the match on my black and white portable telly. Wayne crashed over from a yard to seal it and my mate Steve jumped up off my bed and put his head through the ceiling.

What? With mild mannered players like Skerrett and Fairbank in the side? Never.
