| Quote: soldiers field "geoff clark was a very tough forward, remember him knocking out the wires neil harmon with one punch at wilderspool.
he never took a backward step.
when he left leigh i was told he went round the fairgrounds of europe bare knuckle fighting for a while'"
Jeff still looks 'fighting fit' he lives in Australia now and has two young boys, I spoke to him on the phone a couple of years ago he still looks back at his time at Leigh with greta fondness and memories. |

When we were kids playing for Pennington,C of E the first question always asked by the opposition was ,Is Cottrell playing?Their heads would drop ,if we said yes. Tony played Stand-Off in them days.

My dad used to tell me about the likes of Charlie Pawsey, Trevor Allen, The McFarlane brothers and Rex Mossop. Said they were real tough guys.

What about ex GMP man Dave Evans? Beast of a prop and once ran from half-way to score at Oldham. He loved a bit of biff.

my original team would stand except due to old timers disease got the hooking position wrong.
number nine not geoff clark but i think his name was either keith or derek clark as nasty a player as any signed from swinton.published his story in a sunday player outlining his play for eye gouging and biting. seemed to disappearafter that episode(quite rightly)

i remember him i think he played for leigh think at the end of his career, also remember the article which was in the sunday people.
in those days there were a lot of dirty players such as jim mills , brian hogan , thompson and farrar from featherstone. |
