Respect to Mick Adams and condolences to his family on his untimely death
I still recall Mick hitting the crossbar in the 1982 CC semi final and the ball bouncing into Keiron O'Loughlins hands for the winning score
RIP

Wonderful memories of many great battles between Mick and our Knocker Norton. I thought he was very underrated in the game. Was a great leader in a great team and so often a thorn in our side in those days, without doubt an outstanding loose forward. RIP great man.

Couldn't have put it better myself Uppo.

Great player in a great Widnes team.

RIP Mick.
