He'd have done alright. I recall reading somewhere that he was all set to sign for Hull FC in the early 80's, they'd even line a job up at a local hospital, but it fell through for some reason. Who knows? Union players presumably would spread rumours about signing RL to get a better deal from their clubs, and RL teams spread them to sell season tickets. In those days when if was all cloak and dagger, there's no way of telling. 2 “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

As Tony Collins says in "The Codebreakers," the WRFU pretended they weren't paying the players and the RFU pretended to believe them, otherwise the whole home nations thing would have fallen apart. 1 “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

In those days when if was all cloak and dagger, there's no way of telling. It was actually 1976 and word had got around that he'd got a job at Hull Royal (my mate's dad worked in the hospital works department and he told me Williams was on his way). In Vince Groak's excellent book "Last One Out...", former Hull director Mike Page confirmed it was a "done deal" but when Williams was on his way up to sign the contract he stopped and called his dad. Whatever was said was enough to get him to change his mind and head for home. 1 "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.
