It felt like the cast were given a license to have fun with the "hardened cop" tropes, and really had a lot of fun doing it. He had a brother Peter who was a very good boxer who was British and European champion and the youngest competitor for GB at the 1952 Olympics. Sadly for Peter he took a terrible beating from Dave Charnley and never boxed again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he spent a long time looking older and more gnarled than his years, then stayed pretty much exactly the same for decades. You don't get that with pretty-boy actors.

Adelaide Tiger Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just switched on the sports news this morning and the breaking news is that former Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds has been killed in a car accident in Townsville.

Bit of a shocker that. 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. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 4 hours ago, Robin Evans said: Les Dyl Oh no. For those of who watched whatever rugby league was on TV in the 1970s, Leeds were on a lot (partly due to the reliable nature of their undersoil heating which enabled them to keep going when others were abandoning). And the one constant in my memory was the many superb long-distance tries from the Dyl/Atkinson partnership, often precipitated by an incisive John Holmes pass. All three no longer with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
