Ok, I thought you knew him. Ian was the most gifted natural centre I’ve seen. Deceptively strong, a good step and good pace. Like a few, he thought he’d made it, before he had. Got into one too many scrapes and then spiralled down. Could’ve listened to the advice he was given, but didn’t. Really could have been something.

Yes played for York, in a short stint. Best player on the pitch. In think he could have been a top international. He had everything apart from the most important, the right attitude.

Futtocks Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Idris had the physical attributes to be a big star. However, on several occasions I saw him play, he didn't seem to have the brain to match. He seemed to mentally switch off for a few seconds every now and then, and attackers would take advantage of it.

A big pal of Stuart Reardon and Leon Pryce. I think after he left the Pro game he might have played a few games at West Bowling.Could be wrong but I think that is where he originated from. I think Dave Halley ended up playing loose forward for Dudley Hill. His Dad died when Dave was playing at the Bulls, probably had some effect.

Wolford6 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The biggest player (in more than one sense) that disappeared at the Bulls was Craig Richards. He should have ended up a real star. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
