I remember one game we actually took my mum (only went a few times but now an avid tv wire supporter due to Heath), she was commenting on the size of les boyds legs as rathbone clotheslined an opponent! Straight red! Top player in his day.. Aways had an edge! RIP

Ferocious on the pitch but a thoroughly nice guy off it. His best days as a player were probably behind him by the time he joined Warrington. 'Tough' doesn't come close to describing his style of play making him the most feared player in the league during his time at Bradford.
RIP Alan.

His career at Leeds was very short - about 35 minutes. He was signed to give us a rough edge (this being the 80s we rightfully had a reputation for generally having the woosiest pack around). He got his jaw broken in his only game and never played for us again due to his - ahem - "off-field activities".

I played against Alan at School he played for Bewsey i played For Orford Sec, his nickname at the time was "Action" we also played together for Warrington School Boys. He was a year younger than me but was that good played for the year above. We also kept in touch for some years after leaving school. A really great guy and such a sad loss at such a young age. I would like to send all Alan's family my condolences. RIP Alan
Paul
