Think there was 18 thousand at Wakey when he played is first game .It was against Hull who had just signed Sterling also a top Ozzy.What would we give for crowds like that now

And, i had the pleasure of watching one of the finest RL players to have graced the Belle Vue pitch, simples.

I don't get the big thing about Wally Lewis, he played 10 games for us over a short spell.

It proves if you've got the brass you can get the big things which Wally Lewis was in Aus.

Sorry mate, I get that bit. I just don't get why he's still so highly regarded when he did so little for us.

Someone has just pointed out his first game for us was against Hull.fc 18,000 crowd! Thats what he did for us got people through the gate.

Which paid for his world-record wages...

Thought his wages were paid/funded by a local business man..

Correct it was local businessmen

Remember it well.. Bloke from Hull with a big foam stetson hat on with big bold letters we ain't got any wallys. Great crowd that day..

Barry Houghingley local celebrity and if I remember right he owned a construction company of some description, pretty sure he funded it.

A grand a game wasn’t it. Them young un’s don’t know what they missed..... class

Without doubt
