7891.jpg Salford RLFC
Folly ARLFC
Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg |

| Wouldn't class Alker as a legend by any stretch of the imagination, but he was the closest thing we've had in the last 10 years. The votes were made on facebook where a lot of a new fans post, so for that reason it's understandable why he's been voted. I liked alker when he played for us don't get me wrong, but people go a little over the top about him. Certain fans cream themselves as soon as his name is mentioned!!!
This hall of fame thing should be put out to all Salford fans, just getting the votes from facebook isn't a true reflection of club legends!
Thats meant as no disrespect to the work the club do on facebook or indeed the people who voted Alker, but I'll put my house on it no one who's watched Salford for more than 25 years or knows about the history of the club would have voted him in.
Anyway I'll still support it tomorrow.

I'd put Peter Edwards ahead of Alker in the Hooker position'"
And David Highton.

| I guess while we are in 'limbo' waiting for the new coach to be announced this is a reasonable distraction.
Fwiw, my choices are: David Watkins, Paul Charlton and Chris Hesketh.

| I'd go with those 3 plus Maurice Richards, Colin Dixon and Kenny Gill,to start with.
However,as they're all from the same team we need perspective so you have to go back to Gus Rismans team plus Jack Brennan.
I think it's important to start with a legend that's still alive as he can help launch it.
On that basis it has to be Watkins.

| Surprised that Rutcho hasn't been mentioned.
If you think of someone who wasn't at the club for a massive length of time but became a true Salford legend with his 100% commitment to the cause you'll struggle over the past couple of decades to think of anyone more worthy than Rutcho.
