An evening with JD

Quote: Kirmudgeonly "Really - Danny Brough - How did we make him ? He started as a junior having signed at 15 from Thornhill, played for our academy , never played in first team and signed for dews bury , after that he played for york hull castle ford and after his 2 year stint at trinity went to Huddersfield in 2010. If I remember he actually left with a year left to run on his contract.

So even if you include his academy days he played 12 years for other clubs and all his formative senior years at other teams. Thats before we even start on his well documented problems off the field.

A club legend isnt just about a few big games over a couple of seasons , he actually played for wakefield about 50 or 60 times

If you want to list what a club legend should be
Loyalty ?
Long serving ?
Likeable ? Matter of opinion
Leader on and off the field
Record or high point scoring career at the club ?
Enduring affection for the club

Contrast this to JD - 6 years at the club, played in 188 games, stayed when financially he would have been better served to move on, universally liked and respected (unless you are a miserable git) club captain, who still shows a continuing interest in the wildcats

I ve been watching for over 40 years and last 15 of them potential legends have been few and far between but Neil Fox, Johnny Thompson, nigel bell, probably in the modern era Garerth ellis , who was a junior that came good at the club.

Danny Brough really ?'"
