Always sad to learn of another player from our greatest era passing away.

103 games for Hull FC when we had a pack to see of all comers is a tribute to the man.

RIP Brian.

A true Gent. When he coached Ainthorpe didn't Lee Crooks play for him?

Not during my time there but may have done at another time mate!! although lee trained with us all the time, i remember one match in the cup we drew Dockers and they had Boxhall playing for them so just for fun brian picked himself, he may have been well past his best but he still knew how to stop and stop Box he did !!!
cracking fellow , lovely family and brought the best out of some very average players at Ainthorpe and made them a very useful team !! some went onto bigger things
Mark & shaun Spavin
Terry adamson
carl much
Mike Moore

some good local football lads there all found by Brian from nobodys really, we used to call him old one knacker (for obvious reasons) but he used to chase you down if he heard it and show he still had two hands LOL
i for one will miss the old lad a great deal as will lots of lads whom he found and introduced to rugby locally

Sincere condolances to his Family and friends. from an old Saints speccie.
