Really proud of that, from my nearest childhood city, will definitely make an excursion to Brynmwar, next time I go down the Head of the Valleys.
Who knows exactly how much Roy Francis has influenced British sport right across the board with his physical, technological and psychological innovations.

That’s a great tribute. He is also revered at Leeds as coach of the team in the late 1960’s which finished top of the league ladder for four consecutive seasons and won the water splash cup
Final and the championship a year later in 1969.
Probably the best open, fast flowing football Leeds have ever played. Smith, Hynes, Atkinson and Mick Shoebottom all products of that side and playing in the backs when GB last beat the Aussies in 1970.

He emphasised pace. Think his methods would have been even more effective in the era of summer rugby.

The only challenge to that Leeds side for entertaining rugby would be the Tony Smith side of 2004-2007.

Great to see him being honoured in that way.

I'm too young (not very often do I get to say that!) to have seen him or his teams play live but I'm very proud to know that Hull and the game of rugby league is and always has been diverse enough to accept all talents regardless of their origins.

Robbed of more international caps .This is long overdue , Maybe a small way of righting some wrongs .
