Quirk was definitely one of the best I've seen at finishing in heavy, heavy traffic.

Not as athletic as either Sully or Hunte. But his flat-speed was probably better than the latter and possibly rivals the former.

Superb hand-off.

I remember him scoring in corner against the touring Aussie side in 1990 at Knowsley Road. Stopped us getting nilled.

And that try against Hull to win 12-10 in dying seconds. I remember a bloke talking to my dad all way through it who left a minute early...he missed a belter.

Good call, Quirk was a top winger and scored some wonderful tries. Two more that stand out for me was the CC semi in 89 v Widnes and at Old Trafford in 1990 against Wigan.

Another thing about Les, the then Saints surgeon Peter Rostron (he repaired my ACL in 93) told me Quirk was missing his ACL in both knees and still managed to play.
