In 1980 Yorkshire TV made a documentry series called Once In A Lifetime. One of the episodes was called Another Bloody Sunday and it was based around Doncaster RL's record losing run in the old 2nd Division. There is a scene where Jeff Fletcher the Huyton player coach is doing a dressing room team talk before the game. In the team talk he refers to one of his players as a poser and says [i'Forget Widnes, forget Salford you're playing for Huyton now' [/ithe camera does show the player but I don't recognise him. I was wondering if anyone knows who this player is? (I assume he's an ex Salford player)
I have put a link to the youtube clip, the scene is about 8:13 in.

That documentary is an absolute classic. The PC brigade would have a fit if was these days.
I love the bit where Fletcher says in the same clip: "and don't argue with this referee, he coaches a soccer team". And he used the word soccer like he just discovered someone had just pooed in his socks!!
I have still got a copy of this somewhere. An absolute classic.

The player in question is Mark Jackson, talented young player who unfortunately never got any better.

He never played for the 1st team, but was good signing at the time as there were several other clubs after him.
Big thing's were expected of him but he never realised his potential.
