728 appearances is fantastic in itself, but take into account the war years and its a truly awesome total.

Thanks for the reminder. It prompted me to go and check if my copy of Gus's book "Rugby Renegade" was still on the bookshelf. Published in 1958 when books about RL were very thin on the ground. Though on the back of the dust cover is an advert for another one, about to be published - "King of Rugger" by that other Welsh legend of league: Lewis Jones.
