I can remember him going full length against rovers. dunno if was at home or away though?? he reminds me of pat richards in a way

Remember him getting tackled near the oppo line in one game, getting his arm free and holding the ball out one handed for what seemed like ages before flicking it to one of three supporting players for the try.

Great player and a nice guy too.

Sts at home when we was going through our battering them stage.

Ta. Loved that 2 or 3 of them couldn't put him down.

My main memory (and I might be making this up ) was Leeds away, and a great try from Best was disallowed for stepping in touch. Replay showed he brilliantly kept his foot milliletres in, but was too late. I believe that this happened, but was clearly a bit drunk if it was leeds away

One thing people may have not noticed on the profile or on the thread is he is actually playing centre now. Just shows a winger can switch to that position and manage to play it in the NRL. Only seen him playing centre this year not sure how long ago we made the switch.

Think he's been a centre for about 3 seasons now. Was a joy to watch Besty when he was here. Him and Barnets partnership was unreal arguably the best in the league barring Hape and Vainakolo.

The Panther was one of the best players i've seen in black and white and i've seen some good uns since 1979,pure class. I can remember taking time out to watch him for london at full back cutting into the line with perfection at the boulevard,even as an opposition player in a poorish team you had to admire the brilliance of the man. Little did we know we'd sign him,shift him to centre and put a rookie speedster outside him and the rest is history. His abilty to get on the outside of his opposing centre was done with such ease it had to be seen to beleived,not to mention his massive hit on pencywicz,one of my all time favourites for his pure class,everything Besty needed at the time.
All down to Bomber as well.

Yep I remember that - one arm waving about in the air picking out who to pass it to.

Class player - a real pro.

Passed it to Glen Donkin. Same match as Prescott out-pacing Albert

Prendiville and Sterling better than Best? lol

One of the best wingers we've had at the club and his partnership with Barnett was great to watch.

Close between him and Sterling, as Sterling played in a poor side and look excellent.

For me I'd go for Sterling just, if we have signed Sterling a few years earlier he would have been on a legend at Hull.

How old was he when we signed him?

About 27 I think, He didn't start playing Rugby till late . One of his best tries he scored for Hull was away at Fev . Stepped around 5 players to go 80 metres to score . Vaikona scored a great try in that game also iirc in a great comeback for Hull.
