Keith Fielding as a kid.he was our superstar.. Peter Williams, class centre, great hands and sidestep, always knew how to straighten up and commit the defender to the tackle before passing. A rare breed these days. Exactly why I chose Hesketh and Williams but Hesketh shaved it because is odd running style fooled more people more often. I chose Burgess ahead of other wingers because he turned Paul Charlton inside out twice in one clash, I chose Charlton because he still tackled him after spinning round 180 degrees after he'd been beaten. Amazing stuff where you doubt your eyes at what you just witnessed. |

Totally accept that point about Hesketh. I wouldn't say antything to dismiss that. I could go through the various posts and make an argument about a specific player e.g. how could Neil Baker be better than Gary Jack but the whole point of this discussion is that it's subjective. Hesketh was a GB captain but I preferred watching Williams,ditto Burgess not Fielding Sorry you are right.I would also like to mention Jackie Brennan and also the fastest man I have ever seen in a red shirt in the 64 years I have been going.Wally Mccarthy. |

I never saw another scrum half out play Jackie Brennan and very often those memorable tries are marked by a pass, a dummy and then a pass or something else provided by Jackie. When I didn't choose him it was because of speed which is probably why he wasn't picked at international level when he was certainly capable of performing on that stage. |

FB: Gary Jack was class but loved watching Broadbent for his blood and guts attitude of never allowing a try. Special mention to Scott mahon who looked mint.
Wingers: Hadley and buck Rodgers for me , thought Hancock was a big let down..
Centres: Williams and Naylor oozed class.
SO: never watched Shaw so can't comment but revered by fans. Blackley for me.
SH :Mark Lee, best rl brain on a pitch.
Props: young and Terry o Conner
Booker: Peter Edwards- tackling machine with good hands and pace. Alker annoyed me and offered nothing in attack. ALWAYS BEEN OUR WEAK POSITION.
2nd row:-buffer and Cartwright
Loose:panapa
Mentions to Tex,Stapleton, Jodie, Stefan,cliff eccles and Arthur " the beast" Bradshaw.

Dean Raistrick for hooker when hookers had to hook! Kevin Ashcroft for me. For getting most swear words into a match or coaching session? (mentored at the murph school of inspirational half time talks) Just thanks to all who have contributed to this so far. Does anyone have a player/ team of all talents we've missed? Sort of reminds you why we turn up, doesn't it? |

I would like to mention Sid Lowdon and a brilliant stand off called Ken Richards a Welsh international we had I cannot remember was it the late fifties or early sixties. |
