Difficult to pick just 5....but I'll give it a go... icon_cool.gif

Start with John Bevan, who to most Primary school kids at the time, like myself, was absolutely God-like.

Ken Kelly, who was very under-rated, but was often a match winner for the Wire.

Mike Gregory, who epitomised everything that Rugby League truly stands for....loyalty to a club, graft even in a hopeless situation, and most of all just a very good player.

Jonathan Davies, despite only 2 and a bit seasons with the Wire, he made that time truly memorable with some really classy stuff.

....And the full 15 who took on and beat the Aussies in '78, for simply providing a night that, until the day I die, I will never forget ... icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: fes "Have to include JD - only one man of steel from Wire.Others?
Most have been mentioned, but John Woods is a fave of mine along with Bateman.'"


Behave - what about Ken Kelly, Man of Steel 1981?

For the youngsters out there, he used to play for Warrington, England and Great Britain and was rather good.

Can anyone remember John Bevan's 1st game for the Wire. I think it was against Castleford. He did score on his debut. But having come from union he was a unaware that you have to keep hold of the ball when you get tackled.

Top player. I was a ball boy when he scored his 60/70/80/90*m try against Bradford at home in the early 80's.

Then you missed a treat when he played for us first time round, that 1974 side was the best I ever saw at Wilderspool.

I thought the 1975 team was better when they got Tommy Martyn.

My dad (god rest his soul) used to get a tear in his eye when he told me about the 74/75 seasons. I bit like I'll bore my daugher about '86.

I know its a bit O/T but what about the 1980-1981 team ( Lancs Cup and Regal trophy winners ) and the only reason we didnt win the Challenge Cup and League was because of the ridiculous situation of having to play 9 games in 23 days.
Part time players ... cup semi v Saints on the Saturday, Bradford away on the Sunday ... nice

I'm gonna throw Gerry Helme in, despite never seeing him play, for two main reasons.
A) He won the Lance Todd Trophy twice in the PnB
and
B) he was that good, he made my Grandad, who I'd never heard swear til then, use 'bloody' as an intensifier when describing good he was.
