Spot on.

Lock the thread.

When I saw this thread I thought someone had trawled through the archives to our halcyon days.

It was just before my time unfortunately, however, as a young lad just starting work, a bloke who “mentored” me was of the opinion that whenever Wakefield played Wigan, Boston was put in the centres to intimidate Big Neil & he was adamant it usually paid off.

Not sure of the truth as he was the biggest wind-up merchant in Christendon

.

Maybe it's much simpler than that, maybe they can't pick N Fox out in the murky lights of the East stand?

No if my memory serves me right Boston was always on the wing

That's exactly what I was thinking. He doesn't sit at the front so would be hard to see if you didn't know where he was.
Always sits with Ian Brooke. They'd have loads of great footage of those two playing together if they knew.

Fully agree on this.

He was on Super League Supermen last year as well.

I'm going to go with the theory on the lighting at BV in the main stand. The shot would look awful on TV, especially at night!

It's a silly argument anyway, both are great legends of the sport, and it's great to see any of them on TV looking fit and well.

One example of that was the 1960 top four play off final at Odsal, Foxy went over in the corner in the first few minutes and we led 3-0 Boston then dead legged him he took no further part and we lost 27-3.

It was Bazzo, he took the wife to that game on his honeymoon, he said he remembers it well because he found a half crown whatever that is on the floor going into the ground, he does not need any excuse to talk about the good old days'.

Half what

Give over.

I think that too. Boston was a great winger and scored loads of tries but a lot were made for him by Ashton.
Kenny Hirst never had a problem tackling him though big as he was!
