Indeed he was but during the period when captions were displayed during BBC matches which included the player’s ‘real’ job, he was always a ‘Visual Technician’!

Out of his depth and low on confidence. I say missed tackle - he was so out of position it could hardly count as a missed tackle Might sound bizarre but his hit ups in the middle when he's taking some work on look better than his wing work He's also big enough to be a second rower....

Blithbury Wire Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I remember a few years ago when one of my daughters had a hospital appointment in North London. The anaesthetist asked her which football team she supported. She replied we don't follow football, we follow rugby league. To which he replied, which team do you support? She said Warrington and he said "I got my nose broken playing your team!" He referenced Les Boyd and Les Davidson. I didn't get his name, but he told us he played hooker for Halifax.
