Quote: Agent Mulder "There has been 3 more names added to the list and one of them is Eric Ashton. He was not only a great player but was the first man to lead a club side out at Wembley as a player a coach and a Chairman. He also played in an Ashes winning side. He was also the first player in RL to be awarded the MBE. He would get my vote for his overall contribution to Wembley and RL.'"
He would be a good choice. An extrordinary and elegant centre. I was only thinking about him the other night and recalling one match at the back end of his career (when he had silver hair) where he brilliantly ripped Widnes apart. For the reasons you state I would have no problem with that choice.
