Ryan Bailey smashing him all over again last season, particularly the league game at Headingley where Bailey threw him about ten yards for Leeds last try.

Biting ears off

How disrespectful. ATEOTD, someone who has wore the black n white shirt for 6 years deserves more respect than that - especially someone who is still with the club and has done excellent community work for the club. - not mention his work for the Steve Prescott foundation.

Maybe he wasn't the most inspirational captain, perhaps he did play as part of a team that has played pretty poorly for a number of seasons but he has also being part of a team that landed us our highest SL era league position, our first SL GF and our first CC trip to the new Wembley.

I am sure he will be appreciated by both players he has played with and against.

Always gave 100% in the black and white shirt.

Wow, you must have been on some pretty strong hallucinogens that day! 10 yards!! lol

It never fails to amaze me how the Leeds fans feel the need to over hype the biggest pansy of a prop forward in the competition. If he was a tenth as tough, or as talented as they make out, he'd be buried under offers from the NRL.

Anyway, my best memories of Radders date back to when he broke through at 17 and looked one of our best players at the time. Looked like he was going to be a mobile forward back then!

I value the work he does on the community programme and obviously wish him every success in his coaching career. That said, he (understandably) ditched us and Bradford had the best of him. Solid and unspectacular - I can't really think of an individual play in 6 seasons that turned a game for us. A players' player IMO. Will be there tomorrow and wish him well.

Well said.

I for one don't blame him for leaving Hull when he did. We were in the second tier and had a bad track record of negotiations with local lads such as Radders and David Hodgson (sounds familiar, that). He had a chance to join what was the biggest club in the game at time and he took it. He's hardly the only player to have done it.

Let's not forget, this isn't a Hull FC testimonial. It's an RFL one and Radford has had a successful career.

Agree Raggy, was it Cas away he came on for his debut and scored 2 tries

Yeah that was a great debut, looked every bit a future star. I'd watch him play in the u18's for the previous 12 months and he was almost unstoppable. Why anyone expected him to hang around when Bradford came calling is bewildering.

Does Radford have many events left for his testimonial?

at 1st glance i thought this was a thread about the old 3d character "rodders"

Some incredible memories on here for the guy who has to be the least inspirational captain I have ever seen, I sure will miss seeing him hunched over under the posts after conceeding a try with his whole body language saying Defeat.

The bloke is the embodiment of everything that has been wrong with the club for the past 5 years:

Boring
Slow
Dumb
Undroppable
Uninsipring
Plodder
