Trinity past players dinner from Friday.

I've got a fair few of them but by no means all. Does anybody care to name them, top left to bottom right?

Got Brookie and Foxy and I'm done! you must have better eyes than me Vasty!

I think I could name them all. Maybe bar a couple, but I guess I was there when Lee Robinson went through the list.
Give me a minute to log on to computer and I'll give it a go.

You know the back row are mostly current first team players??

If you drag the image onto your desktop the jpg is fairly high res so you can zoon in a ibit.

KevHarkin on Neil Fox s right,Mick Morgan on his left, George Ballantine first left front row,Mick Hunte next to him,Graham Evans fourth in from left on front row, Terry Crook on Ian Brookes left front row, Looks like Kenny Endersby next to Terry, Nigel Wright front row far right. Jonny Thompson second left middle row. Nigel Bell ninth in from right middle row. know a few more but my eyes are going ,need a rest .

I count 18 internationals and 2 who played for Yorkshire

There is some huge value on show but if you could pick two out of those on show (and there are loads missing) I’d go for….

Gareth Ellis. quality, ability, work ethic, leadership you name it.

Neil Fox, frankly I can’t imagine what he’d be worth on today’s market, an astronomical figure. That’s if SL could keep him or RL didn’t lose him to RU. He’s such a consummate player and athlete and one who clearly has a brain that in his case he isn’t era defined. I confidently say he would be a superstar today as much as he was in the sixties.

If he were playing today and Trinity were shrewd and had signed him up long term he could easily become SL‘S first million pound player whilst gaining us a whopping transfer fee should we be forced to sell.

I don’t think we’ll ever see such complete players as these in the future and certainly not ones with such complete mastery of one position.

Absolutely. You can't easily say how good they were or how valuable they'd be now.

To pick two different players I'd pick Ian Brooke and Nigel Wright.

Brooke is often overlooked because Of Neil but he was absolute class and a clever player. They partnered each other in the centres for GB when there were some great names around.

And Wright, apart from injuries could have had it all.
