Cumbrian Fanatic Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 20 minutes ago, Hopping Mad said: How about John Bulman, a winger blessed with explosive pace and no little power? Very highly rated over three seasons as a youngster at Whitehaven. That spell included a season in Division One. Bulman, from Mirehouse, played in the Cumbria team (alongside Tickle, Walker, Fox, Gorley et al) that won the county championship and in 1980 beat a Test-strength New Zealand touring side. Packed in rugby league to become a Royal Marines Commando. Is the Bulman now on Haven's books related to him? Another with a Whitehaven connection: centre Vince Gribbin, a Hensingham ARLFC product. Super fast, picked for GB when Maurice Bamford was coach. Wanted to leave Haven, who slapped a ludicrous price tag on his head. In the resulting stalemate, Gribbin 'stayed away' for years. Not quite the same - though still pretty useful - when he came back, again with Whitehaven. Must add one of my all-time favourite players: speedy Huddersfield centre Ian Thomas. Could he have 'done a Carl Gibson' if he'd left Fartown (where he was awarded a testimonial) for a better club?

A hugely talented stand-off who just seemed to fade out of the game. Played for London for a while if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he didn't have the discipline needed and just ended up absolutely massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
