He's the pudgy, moustachioed bloke who you probably have seen in a career spanning over 100 movies and TV series. Here he is with Kurt Russell - yeah, he's that guy! Ah that bloke.

Damien Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Lets not forget Dennis Waterman's most famous role: Period comedy drama The First Kangaroos was an account of the first Australian rugby tour of England in 1908. Based on a true story Dennis Waterman plays legendary rugby league player Albert Goldthorpe. The first half of the movie is set in Australia as the Australian set about breaking away from the Rugby Union code to set up their own professional Rugby League code, travelling to England to play some big matches in a bid to promote their fledgling code. Aside from Waterman most of the players were real life Rugby players. https://www.memorabletv.com/tv/first-kangaroos-the-channel-4-1988-dennis-waterman-chris-haywood/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flew down the ice, golden locks flowing behind him as he took advantage of the compulsory helmet regulation being waived for old timers. A delight to watch. Sadly the chain smoking finally caught up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.
