Good one Jaws. He may have ended up playing for 2 clubs. Started at Norths and finished at Manly IIRC

Full back still needed. Legend.

He was Jaws. He looked like a porn star, black shoulder length hair big tash. Came from Coventry RU. Left Wigan when several players were going to Aus.

Yes a very good player watched him many times think he left 1975 he was a RU convert who made a big impact on the game he could kick goals tackle like a trojan and have seen him run the full length of the field very fast for a hooker.

Picture of him here third one down

Bobbie Goulding forgot about him
How can you forget the Bobbie Goulding "incident". The "room trashing", caused uproar in Australia and saw him sent home in disgrace too.

Martin Foy or Keith Holden?

If incorrect is it pre 85 or post 85?
