Put it this way he'd cost less than Gareth hock, ryan would end up top points scorer and be a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Michael Ashton said: Nobody has mentioned Keith Jarrett who was signed from Newport RUFC in 1969 for £14000. He was a tremendous kicker for Wales and then Barrow Regrettably he was taken seriously ill and retired in 1973 at the age of 25. I think he was the best kicker I ever saw at CP. This information was taken from 'Keeping the Dream Alive' by Keith Nutter & Steve Andrews. I hope they don't mind me pinching this from there book. You're absolutely right Michael he could have gone on to be a superstar in RL, he had left us to go on to play for Wigan when he was struck down with a stroke, but man could he kick.

Michael Ashton Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I agree about Kamal Phil. I have consulted the Bible. Just a final point on Keith Jarrett. He became unhappy at Barrow because he wanted to play for a more successful club. His last game for Barrow was on 3rd April 1973 at York when Barrow were beaten 60-0. Wigan were interested in him and he went for trials. At his first training session he suffered a stroke followed by two more. That was regrettably the end of his rugby career and later there was a wrangle between Barrow and Wigan over compensation but a legal case never materialized. I don't know whether this is of any interest to anybody but I am very interested in the past at Barrow Rugby. Must be my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It is very much of interest to those of us of a certain age, I can remember he appeared on the old Look North when they told his story. He was a young man, just 25 yrs with his whole life in front of him, it was taken away from him cruelly, I think he would have been a great.

Michael Ashton Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I wonder why Hull KR released him. I would certainly like to see him in a Raiders shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
