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 |

Just listening to it now, good interview. Alker admitting to giving Wilshere a good kicking is a bit of a shock though!!!

| Best thing the club ever did in getting rid of him.
Disruptive influence and though he was bigger than the club.
Admitting giving one of your fellow players "a good kicking" really nice touch  |

| I'm not able to listen to the streaming content as I'm at work, but I'm intrigued by the following transcript..
Quote: BBC Sport ""There was a bit of an aftermath back at the hotel after that and I went to see Shaun [McRae] and he accused me of doing things like kicking him in the head, which I didn't particularly do. '"
particularly? does that mean he only did it gently? |

It was on RL Extra on BBC Manchester last night, you can listen to it on IPlayer. Missed it last night, so I'll be listening later, sounds interesting! |

| Quote straight from Alker
"Asked if he regretted the incident, Alker said: "No, not one bit. I was put in a position where I felt I was threatened and I couldn't get out of that situation and at the end of the day, it's dog eat dog isn't it."
Great captaincy 
And people still think hes a Legend  |

He viewed a pre-season training camp as dog eat dog? I agree with your comments on him. The whole farce when he got the captaincy back was an embarrassing shambles as well. Another sorry Salford tale.

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.

| Wasn't he completely vindicated when he got the captaincy back ?  |

This was from a bad time in our history
Alker got away with a lot due to a poor coach, a week chairman a big headed director of rugby.
the mistakes were made from then.
We now have a new coach so let’s hope he can keep today’s players onside because we know the rest can not do it!!!

That article on the BBC website is really badly written. The first time I read it, I wasn't sure if he'd supposedly hit McRae! Even with that caveat, Alker doesn't come out of it sounding good TBH. I'd certainly expect one of the most senior players to do everything possible to avoid a fight with another team member.

350 games, 15 years, never took a backward step on, (or off the field it seems), stayed loyal to us throughout.
Malcolm's fire made him the player he was.
He may have made a mistake or several, (like many players before him). Good Managers should sort these issues out, and preferably behind closed doors.
Give me an Alker before a MacRae any day of the week.
Anyhow, they're both gone now. Time to move on, but I for one will always be grateful for the efforts of Malcolm Alker.
