An attacking fullback is nothing new.
It was rather innovative in the late fifties, becoming more and more fashionanle throughout the sixties with such as Gerry Round,Edwards at Cas, Coslett and Rhodes at Saints, Bev Risman at Leeds and the ultimate attacking fullback Gary Cooper.
The latter was prone to defensive lapses but boy, he was exciting to watch.
Since that era I can think of Les Sheard, Geoff Wraith,John Holmes when playing full back for Leeds,Harold Box ,John Woods at Leigh and more recently Radlinski.
No nothing new.

very disappointed with his exit at the end of the game, head down defeatist's attitude looked like a right sulk or I'm I reading into something wrong

His whole demeanor throughout the match was nothing short of disgraceful. The only thing he did of any note was start a fight.

I agree, its not something I like to see players getting bagged but I hate to see anyone showing a sulking selfish attitude, these are professionals and are paid some highly to do a job

With Kirmond off the field I assume he was captain too. Compare and contrast. One man had to be dragged off the field, the other didn't want to be on it.

Always called him a showman who tried to impress the fans throwing his arms about as if he was organising things,he certainly didn't fool me ,now supporters have cottened on to his antics and can't run the show, he's been seen in is true colours
