Remember all those names well and some team that was.

Bev Risman - signed from RU, current England international at the time and a real scoop for us attracting a lot of media attention at the time.

Colin Tyrer - surely one of our all time greats. In a match v Wigan at HP we won 18-9 and he scored all our points (2 tries and 6 goals) - they signed him off us soon after.

Austin Rhodes - signed from St Helens along with Ken Large, both part of that great Saints team of the early 60's.

Terry Entwistle - Wigan Corpn dustbin man. Never a regular first choice but always a guaranteed 100% type player.

Bill Robinson - one GB cap, unfortunately a 50-12 stuffing by the Aussies at Swinton

John Lewis - up and coming youngster, understudy to Walt Tabern. Career tragically cut short by a nasty broken leg whilst scoring a try v Liverpool City at HP.

Murphy, Martyn and Hurt - that back three used to roll off the tongue. Whatever the other 10 names you could virtually guarantee that the last 3 would be MM&H.

I was a carefree 12 year old then, going to school in Wigan and in those days we could certainly hold our own with the best in the game. Sorry to say I don't expect to see the like ever again.

that's unfair Charlie, he wasn't....but he did have a 'comb over' !

I think eight of that team may have represented GB ?

not sure Sean ever played for us, he spend a couple of seasons at the dark side not sure after that.
