Our paths still cross occasionally when he drops into Carlisle from whichever exotic location he is dwelling in! Think it was Capri last time I heard. David Collister had a similar "uncompromising" approach to policing on the edge! Apparently it was no urban myth that the first question visiting opponents asked was "Is Collister playing?". I can still see that gap-toothed grin when Shemmy dumped somebody over the touch line. was no myth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Absolutely outstanding profile on Hepi in the RLE . Really great read bringing back great memories of the time and of probably the toughest competitor pound for pound I’ve seen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old standoff Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Don’t come any better in the day with a shortage of caps than local lad Sol Roper in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha cheers marra. In my early years defend was the last thing I had to do. As Rizzo would say " you do our running young man (in his school teacher manner) and if anything gets past you they wont get any further. Rizzo inside me ,Shemmy outside and Charlo behind me..No problems what so ever Three great defensive players and a privilage to have played with them.

That's exactly how Rizzo talks to this very day. In recent years he has been involved in Rugby League in Scotland and much further afield in Eastern Europe as " mentor" as he describes it!
