how did I manage not to mention Ellis. At his best for us he was fantastic - then he got better at Leeds

| Quote: owiepob "I was at primary school when I saw Lewis and TBH remember little of it. I think based on the weaknesses of our squad, it would be a pcak man - one from Price (R), Solo, Pochin or Fritz.
Just for fun though I would love to see a young Nigel Wright (Yorkshire Cup final vintage) playing outside of Broughy. If you would indulge me enough to pair Atkins with a young Alan Hunte in the centres I'd be most obliged also'"
Nigel Wright and Danny Brough would be a halfback pairing to match just about any you could mention.
So much creativity it would tear holes in anyones defence. |

no contest on that one Ashurst was the real deal he is the best 2nd row forward i ever saw Solomona is a good player but he could not lace Bills boots

I could count a number of really great players from legends like Neil Fox and Toppo (never saw Wally Lewis play for us), but I'm going to go for Trevor Skerrett. A real powerhouse prop forward. The number of times he blasted holes through the defence must have given his team mates a massive lift, and really got the crowd going. Great fun to watch, great player. Come back Trev!

| Quote: The Clan "how about John Glancy?'" He was also in my thoughts, never took a backward step. Ray Price used to say when you left the pitch you should be totally out on you having run your blood to water, and Glancy always looked like he could not walk another yard without collapsing as he came off, Probably in my top 10 players of all time, a real unsung hero. |

A true work horse, never took a backward step and very rarely missed a tackle. Never saw him have a bad game. Think I only ever saw him pass the ball once and we scored off it! His name should be used in the dictionary to describe the word grafter |

the only thing that stopped glancy was gardening!!!
thoughts on wally was that he was 3 steps in front of the opposition, but unfortunately at least 5 steps in front of his team mates!!

Thats true in many ways
Without the likes of Alan Burns and Scott Lewis in the team much of what Wally did would not have been effective. |
