Quick question for you oldies; As i didnt get to see the likes of "Flash" play.
Obviously the game has picked up speed with regards to gameplay and quickness (better pitches/fitter players) so do you think a player in this day and age that can side step someone and make them look like mugs (Burrows does it often) would have a better side step then someone who did it in the old days on dodgy pitches against less agile/fitter players?

Correct.
Paul Harkin had a good side step too.
Dave Watson also |

Oi!!, less of the oldies stuff, the correct term is chronologically gifted generation.  |

I remember Gary Prohm heading for the corner then wrong footing three defenders and going in under the sticks. I think it was against Halifax.

Well, my debut season as a spectator was the 75/76 season, and for me the best purveyor of the sidestep has to be Roger "The Dodger" Millward, followed a close second by "The Dancer" Steve Hartley.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |
|
| I reckon if Roger Millward and Dave Watson were ever a half back partnership then been a big forward in the middle of the park would have been a nightmare defensively!  |

It was a lot more than 3 steps, more like 8 or 9, he beat one Hull player 4 times (Solal I think). Easily the best try I’ve ever seen. Laws’ trick was making defenders turn their back on him. No idea how he did that.
Saw Roger play, but I was too young to remember much. As far as modern day players go Phil Hasty & Rob Wilson had big steps…& anyone remember Roy Holdstock scoring at the Boulevard with some nifty footwork?
