Preston was like **** off a shovel over the first 30-40 metres whereas Offiah was far taller with 4 1/2 foot legs so took some getting going.... Wouldn't surprise me if he had beaten him though, great player !

Offiah left him for dead in the Championship decider at Widnes (1989?)

I always liked Preston, cracking player but wouldn't come off his wing to look for work!

He was in a team where he didn't need to, he did what a winger should do, score tries.

His unwillingness to do this, unlike Offiah, cost him his place in the side eventually. How many more would he have scored if he did so??
Still a good player though.

Remember Phil Ford catching Preston tackling him then standing over Preston with his legs locked between his like a cowboy who had just lasooed a calf, and stood milking the aplause from the crowd. Classic moment.

Fastest player we had was probably Gary Henley-Smith.


Ran 10.7 for the 100m which is very quick indeed.
