TBF not many in the world can catch a ball like Blaymire can.

I think Martin Pearson is worth a shout, he wasn't at Trin long but helped us a great deal, he played well above his capabilities showing the Trin spirit that until recently has kept us all coming back.

I picked my Greatest Trinity team some time ago using the various Wakey and general RL history books about. The team I ended up with was similar to Benny the Ball's effort posted earlier.

1. Charlie Pollard
2. Fred Smith
3. Billy Stott
4. Neil Fox
5. Dennis Booker
6. David Topliss
7. Jonty Parkin
8. Jack Wilkinson
9. Len Marson
10. Jack Booth
11. Harry Murphy
12. Don Robinson
13. Derek Turner

Difficult choices to make over the years, but based on who I have seen.

1. Gerry Round.
2. John Etty.
3. Syd Domic. just over Alan Skene.
4. Neil Fox.
5. Gert Coetzer.
6. David Topliss.
7. Geoff Bagnall.
8. David Jeanes.
9. Alan McCurrie.
10. Brian Briggs.
11. Bob Haigh.
12. David Solomona.
13. Derek Turner.

No reserves for me the first 13 was hard enough.

Can't disagree with any of those choices Chissitt. A few more of mine to throw into the mix: Geoff Wraith FB, I also liked Gary Cooper as an attacking force; Keith Slater on the wing; Matt McCleod (sp); Ray Owen; the big back rower we bought from Fev who was injured one Good Friday match and had part of his leg amputated (Peter?), played it hard with blockbusting runs; Trevor Skerret; Graham Idle (tackling machine); Bill Ashurst; not with us long the zip-zip man Steve Ella; Ray Price.
I'm gonna have to have a lie down now I'm sure more will come to mind. Just can't choose.
David Jeanes, great player.

Not from me mate, Shelford was a top class prop.

My two all time greats are Fox and Topliss not only for their ability but also their longevity at the club. Skillwise, Keith Smith had everything but didn't last long.

Although not a "great" to me, good to see Andy Mason 's name cropping up. A typical latter day Trinity stalwart all heart, guts and passion.A highly educated man, was he a solicitor?,some of his prosaic and flowery teamtalks went way over several,shall we say less educated, heads.

He was also the first player I remember who did the warm up routine out on the pitch prior to kick off.

Sadly as I was born in 1985, I did not have the privilidge of seeing the likes of Neil Fox, Rocky Turner, Fishcake Poynton, Toppo to name but a few, however there aew still a very worthy XIII to choose from:

FB: Colum Halpenny - Tall, pacey and collected, perfect fullback material if ever it existed.
LW: Semi Tadulala - Recovered well after a shakey start to become a cult hero with Trinity.
LC: Gareth Ellis - Out and out enthusiasm meant that he was destined for captaincy and beyond...
RC: Sid Domic - For two seasons, his combination with David Solomona was largely unstoppable.
RW: Aaron Murphy - A highly talented youngster with time on his side to get even better.
SO: Jamie Rooney - On his day an acclaimed kicker and wonderful support player.
SH: Danny Brough - Controversial choice, but somebody capable changing the course of a game in an instant.
PF: Adam Watene - Committed to every cause, line break and tackle.
HK: Sam Obst - A playing who punches way above his weight (and height!).
PF: Michael Korkidas - Breaks as tough as he hits.
SR: Willie Poching - A real fans favourite and a fine leader through the tough times of 2000 and 2001.
SR: David Solomona - One of the most skillful players (and entertaining) ever seen at Belle Vue.
LF: Jason Demetriou - While other players came and went during his arrival in 2004, Demetriou stayed loyal and true to the cause.

So this the XIII to start from, with apologies to David & Paul March, Olivier Elima, Nigel Bell, Francis Stephenson and others...

Yes, they are asking for players who played with pride for Wakey so that rules the likes of Brough out and Lewis too, who, as good as he was, came for the money, end of.

Lewis certainly came for the money, but didn't con anyone. He didn't want to come and we just made a bid he said he couldn't refuse.
Anyone that watched him woul know he gave it his all.

I'd reword that a little,

Lewis got paid a lot for coming but he played the game for all the right reasons and he wore the shirt with pride.

Agreed

Started watching circa 1987

Just dug out my RL annual 93/94, which has the details of the Yorkshire Cup triumph. Our Squad for the final was;

Spencer
Jones
Mason
Benson
Wilson
Wright
Bagnall
Webster
Bell
Glancy
Price
Fritz
Slater
Subs; Conway and Goddard

Not a bad side at all I'd say and like all the teams of the early 90's, massive underachievers.
