Omitted 4 and 12 as during the 15 years or so I followed Salford, I never saw more than one Centre or Second Row who were any better than the other several dozen that all played there.

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings".. Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything. Mary Hemmingway, US journalist,widow of Ernest Hemmingway (1908-1986) The Stupid Neither Forgive Nor Forget The Naive Forgive And Forget The Wise Forgive But Don't Forget "I am not young enough to know everything" Oscar Wilde Irish Playwright (1854-1900) One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph. virginia woolf (1882-1941):icons1949_files/4193-180guyguyme2003-msnicons.gif

:



1) Paul Charlton, Top fullback,better than B .Slater as he could tackle
2) Wally McArthur, Wing, Faster than Offiah( but played in a crap Salford team)
3) Ken Gill, Stand Off, could put a man through the eye of a needle
4) Chris Hesketh, Centre, could wriggle out of tackles
5) Billy Banks, Scrum Half, If you did not see him you missed watching a genius and a showman, the crowd loved him
6) Stefan Rathford, Don't need to say anything about Stef
7) Charlie Bott Prop, Tough no nonsense hard working Prop
icon_cool.gif Colin Dixon, Second Row, Fast classy forward
9) Hugh Duffy, Loose Forward, played the same time as Wally McArtur in a poor team, always breaks in attack
10) Ray Cashmere, Similar to Big Charlie Bott

Then there's Watkins , Richards, Just thought about Jackie Brennan

Lots of good memories there. Lets hope next season we have plenty more favourites

after last weeks gutless performance up front, a nice mix of tackling machines and forwards that liked to ' introduce ' themselves whilst doing the hard yards.

Billy Banks - Five foot nothing and bald at 25. Great player in a poor team.
