I remember the big chap being sent on as a substitute by Peter Fox. Because he had such an awkward upright running (possibly walking) style he attracted penalties like wasps to a jam pot from the opposition when they could not put him down.
I was at the Boulevard the night he dropped that goal, unbelievable.
My best memory of him was his performance against Widnes in the 77/78 premiership final. He should have been man of the match in my eyes. Possibly he didn`t get it because he was substituted early in the second half after tiring, but he caused Widnes plenty of damage before going off.
RIP Ian a fantastic character and player who always had a smile on his face.

He had a great comb over and good hands - RIP Ian and my sympathies to his younger brother Gary who served us so well too.

Sad news, another part of my boyhood gone. "Selwyn" certainly was a character. Many years after he retired from RL I once found myself propping against him for Baildon RU 3rds vs Huddersfield 5th's. It seemed as if he just couldn't give up playing at whatever level he could.

Very sad news. My first real Northern hero, I still have a badge somewhere in the loft with his smiling face & outrageous comb over on it. Genuine character, always created a stir in the crowd when he came on ..... Northern fans cheering, opposition fans generally giggling. RIP

"Selwyn" was yet another "older" player that Peter Fox motivated to play well above previous recent form.I was also in the crowd at Hull with my mate.We sort of hid our NORTHERN scarfs on the way out of the Boulevard.Yep it was an intimidating place that's for sure,but we still attended every season.Great memories of that team under Foxy.
RIP "Selwyn" the fans loved you.
