No finer sight than a ball playing loose forward. Every team had at least one. At Hull we were blessed with Steve Norton and Mick Crane. Nowadays a loose forward is just an extra prop

Mick was 66. What amazed me despite his spells at Leeds and Hkr as well as his periods of going missing he still amassed 358 games for Hull.

I can remember in the 80s Halifax signed a couple of young Aussies. Paul Langmack and Martin Bella. Both went on to become big name players
