To be fair I've never seen him live, so I can't comment. |

I assume PHIPPS is using the fact that the DJ and erstwhile tv talent show judge Dr Fox is also called Neil Fox to wind people up and is referring to him. |

You mean there is another Neil Fox?
Do you think 'Dr Fox' is a fully qualified GP? |

| Quote: Leaguefan "One cracking player, however i do remember one incident involving Neil Fox.
Way back in the mists of time when Keighley usually got stuffed by 40 + ( 3 points for a try back then) they actually beat trinity at Lawkholme Lane 7 -2.
A certain Mr Fox tried to kick a penalty goal directly in front of the posts and actually knocked the corner flag down.
Talk about slice!!!!
Next game against trinity was service as normal, a 40 point thrashing.'"
I was at Rochdale Hornets with a player (Paddy Reilly) who played for Keighley in
that game, He used to say that the chairman and board paid for everything for
the next week they where so over the moon. |

It was also in an era when a try was only worth 3 points.

County Cups, Floodlit Trophy, JPS, Challenge Cup, League games (30+?) Premiership/Top 16 play-offs, County games, international tournaments - Tours, World Cups, etc. And we hear today that players play too much football. Fox scored his points the hard way. A legend whose total will never be over-taken.

| Quote: The Clan "Will anyone ever get near Wakefield Trinity's Neil Fox world record points in a career total of
[size6,220[/size (6,458 - adjusted)
If prolific point scorers like Danny Brough 2,000 points, Kevin Sinfield 2,500 or Andy Farrell who scored 3,135 points in his career can't even get to the 50% mark is there any hope of anyone ever beating Fox's record?'"
Cant see it ever being beaten, I doubt any player will play for 20 odd years these days at first team level. Look at Cunningham , when he retired his body was pretty much shot, Scully and Farrell too - classic examples of players who started out very young at first team in modern Rugby. |

Quite right. Fitness demands are much higher than they were. and the pace of modern RL does not allow players to take it easy, although, having said that, props and hookers are continuously rotated. |

also very unlikely that anyone with that amount of talent would be kicking his heels in mediocreleague. nowadays would be snapped up by yawnion and would become world famous for ice skating or something like that.
ps. saw him in cats bar on sunday and thought he was looking really well.

And an era when playing Christmas Day AND Boxing Day was not unheard of. Amazing stuff. |

It's not just the fitness , the increase in speed of the game means collisions are harder and more frequent.
I've played for 20 + years at amateur level and my body is knackered .. |

Read his Biography, when on tour they used to play 3 sometimes 4 games in a week, and I know the game is different now regarding fitness levels etc. however treatment for injuries is much better also. I once played against Neil when he was coaching at Underbank, the best day of my life.
