I was only watching footage of the interview he has done for the Hull KR legends DVD last week.
He was filmed whilst with Colin Hutton at the George Hotel.
Sad news he was a true Rugby League Legend.

Very sad news. He will be celebrated for being Mr State of Origin, an Australian legend, but he left a massive impression way back in the 60s during his short time at Rovers. I was a ball boy at the time and I was awe struck by him.

HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ?
When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart .
We were a pub team
I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO
RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue
In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again:37721.jpg |

did'nt he organise a trip to the 4 nations this year with a group of aussies? i'm sure Colin Hutton went to Huddersfield and gave them all a rovers shirt.

Bit before my time but my Dad used to rave about how good Artie was. Widely regarded as the greatest prop ever to play the game. Sad day.

Had a few beers with him once.
Very easy guy to talk to.
I actually didn't recognise him at first. He was with a couple of guys i know who were former firstgraders and it was five minutes before i worked out where i knew the face from.
He came across as a guy with nothing to prove to anyone.

I had a beer with him on a GB tour (organised by Willow) and he recognised me as soon as we met up. I was known as raggy (of scoobydo) back then. Gavin Miller, a good friend of mine, was also there. Artie was great company. Its hard to come to terms he is no longer amongst us.

Was fortunate enough to see him in a Rovers shirt and was with my dad at the derby match. Will be sadly missed in our great game. RIP Artie
