As I remember it he was inside before he came to us. That's why he was available. Gave Wally some professional level protection.

Orange boots I remember and yes I think he came to us with a somewhat chequered past. He wouldn’t last five minutes in today’s game.

No he wouldn't - he'd have been sent off!
Remember seeing him play against leeds, and the Wakefield fans shouting for him to be taken off after he crudely downed a couple of Leeds players -( because he was seen and penalised  ) a hatchet man with no rugby skills.

Haha yes some minders were no doubt required, but I've never seen one less subtle than Lindsay Gill. |

What generalisations.
Yes there were some really hard men before Superleague.
There were also some true sportsmen who graced the game.
At Trinity Neil Fox, Ian Brooke, Bob Haigh , Kenny Hirst, Dave Topliss,Dave Lamming and many more.

I was lucky to get to 9 out of the 10 matches he played for us and took him the programmes to take a look at in Doncaster on Thurs. He was indeed a total Gent and a fabulous guy. He recounted how he proposed to his missus at our table as he came round.

I would be very surprised if there are any places left so late. |

Ok calm down Beagle. No one is saying otherwise.
I personally don't think Gill was that bad but the game was different then.
Those same players all suffered from meeting the supposed hard men.
Both existed. That's just a fact. You didn't go one game without someone targeting Topliss or in this example Lewis. DT enjoyed more protection when he went to Hull.
Lewis had more protection when Gill played because they had to worry about what he was going to do as well.
Topper would be even better in the modern game as would Lewis because of the extra protection he would get. |
