Paul Carige...

... oh, and Celery I suppose

Almost included this one myself, then I remembered we were talking about British players. Lol.
Don't mean to point out the obvious, but even considering some of the trash we have had at the Willows, by far the worst winger I've seen in a Salford shirt. That could be a thread back on our won board.

Alex Murphy

Neil Fox
Martin Offiah (although not one for the purists, his record speaks for itself)

Over and above that, although he only had a couple of seasons at the top) Dennis O'Neill.

E. Hanley
P. Sculthorpe
M. Offiah
A. Farrell
K. Cunningham/ J. Davies

Schofield was past his best when I saw him. Jason Robinson should probably get a menton too.

Quote: Big Graeme "A very underated player IMO, someone said Cunningham would have walked into that great Wigan team, I think Dermott would have had something to say about that.'"


Not to say there weren't better players in the league, but collectively, when Dermott played for Wigan they had the best pack in the British game by some considerable margin. For me Cunningham, Farrell and Sculthorpe are the stand out players of their generation. Dermott gets lost with the big names around him at the time.

When you talk about the Wigan teams he played in his name falls well down the pecking order: Hanley, Gregory, Edwards, Platt, Offiah, Botica, Miles and Clarke (may receive some mocking but he was a fantastic athlete). Compare this to good St Helens and Scully/Cunningham rise to the top everytime. Even taking into consideration Long, Newlove and Joynt.

If Phil Clarke's career wasn't cut short by such a serious injury, I have no doubt he would have made a fair number of the lists on this thread. He would have been a success in Australia and he was destined to captain his country for years

My thoughts are Clarke showed us the benefits of having fit athletic forwards in the team and I would agree he could have been in more threads. Some people don't like his comments on Sky though.

nickcat - Whooosh Serge A. Storms (aka Clive Woody) - Houston chapels gutterfax - us:



Posted in the All Time GB side thread:-

1. Jim Sullivan
2. Billy Boston
3. Neil Fox
4. Harold Wagstaff
5. Mick Sullivan
6. Roger Millward
7. Alex Murphy
13. Malcolm Reilly
12. Dick Huddart
11. Vince Karalius
10. Ken Gee
9. Joe Egan
8. Brian McTigue

Seen at least detailed footage of all of them bar nos. 1 and 4.

I'll stick with that side.

Slot in Eric Ashton at centre and maybe throw the virtually unrecognised genius, certainly in that spot, of one Harold Poynton back at fullback for the hell of it...

Can understand the love for others at fullback - Lydon, Shoebottom, Martin Ryan, Charlton, even Hampson circa 1990 - to name a few at random.
