Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Funnily enough the total opposite happened to me.....different player mind. Dean Sampson for Cas, hated him as a player always thought he was a dirty lover and no good for the game. But now at 17 years of age I found myself playing against him a few month back when I was at Dudley Hill 2nd team and he was playing prop for Fryston. He wasn't dirty at all and at 42 he still ripped us apart and even congratulated us younger guys for putting in massive effort, he went from Zero to pretty cool guy.'"
On the basis you were about 7 when he stopped playing full time I would suggest you might have a few more prejudices that need re-thinking. I hate to mention it, but it is that time of year, but that Santa Claus fella, he's mythical as well.
