| For me Nigel Bell always seemed to hit hard in the tackle over a sustained number of years.

Even in these so-called austerity times isn't it about time our city fathers (not including Box) contacted Barnsley sculptor Graham Ibberson to commission a statue of Neil Fox similar to that of Dickie Bird. It should hold pride of place in the Bull Ring, and get rid of those Ruddy fountains.
It would be nice if a public subscription could be started for such a tribute, but we're talking about the Wakefield public aren't we?

| Trevor Skerrett for me all day long, unreal defender, and on the subject of Ray Price, he was good, but we had a better 13 for GB in Steve Knocker Norton

| Richard Slater rarely missed a tackle, but for me personally Ray Price is probably the best I've seen. His hit on Ellery Hanley was prob the biggest hit I've seen at Belle Vue

| Idle & McDermott were machines but as a tackling full back Trevor Midgley was rarely beaten. JOHN Burke was pretty handy too

| Who was that Cas thuggish second rower (I think) who Received a dose of rough justice from Ray Price and spent about ten minutes reeling all over the ground in a daze as though he'd just spent a night in the Graziers? The image is still strong in my mind, but I can't recall the Cas player's name. He didn't try it on again though.

| For my money Graham Idle by a country mile with Nigel Bell and John Burke also worth a mention

When he went on tour down under he was in the mid week team, one game, which is online somewhere, the Aussie commentators were raving about him, questioning why he wasn't playing in the starting line up and that he would go well down under.
He did a big tackle and they all cheered it.
