Personally I couldn't give a flying fook where they come from as long as they are good enough. |

For those of us who weren't around in the early 80's, who is Toppo? |

I wasn't actually around to watch in the 80's, I only know him by reputation and what I've read. There was a piece in the 2005 CC final programme that featured him. [url=http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/DAVID-TOPLISS--A-SPORTING.319379.jpHere's[/url a profile/interview if you're interested. |

I've heard of the guy (didn't twig with Toppo though) but don't know a lot about him. |

| Quote Mild mannered Janitor="Mild mannered Janitor"
Just after I got the text about Agar, I bumped into a former player (from the early 1980's) who was involved with the original Gateshead set up. having played with Alan Agar, He was happy for Richard that he got the job. He also said, Hull and Wakefield were the only clubs he would ever consider going back to work for in the DOR role.
'"
Didn't realise D.T was involved with the original Gateshead set up.
Agreed, would be great for Hull ! |

Didnt he come back to work for Hull a few years ago in a part time capacity? Think it was a player recruitment role. |

His name was mentionned in those circles a while ago. Not sure if anything came of it though. |

IIRC he was involved with Hull FC behind the scenes briefly just after the merger.
Would be good to see him involved again but doubt it will happen.

Yeah he came as part of The Gateshead Club.
Toppo at the club would be just fantastic - a real 80's black 'n' white hero!! |

Been searching the net for a pic for people to see who he is but I can't find one!
The most famous pic of him is holding the challenge cup aloft after Hull won in The Replay at Elland Road with the other players around him!! 
I have it in a book but I don't have a scanner!  |
