He used to train with our group, and we had a glorious picture of him scoring a try for GB in Australia, which I assume was during the mid 70s series MM refers to. Was the glorious picture of the try shown here at 50 minutes on the video? Looks like a sumptuous reverse pass by nash which the cameraman didn't quite catch.

The photo was of him putting the ball down and about to raise his arms, from the front. That so takes me back. Great hands. A little later, Harry Pinner trained with us. When massive forwards had the softest hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like yorks/lancs players favoured over Cumbrians , in the 70`s the Gorleys , Eddie Bowman and most of all Paul Charlton didn`t get the number of Caps they deserved .Paul Charlton wasn`t truely recognised until he went to Salford .

You are almost certainly right with the general point but I saw Boxer Walker play many times and in my opinion he wasn't in the same class as Millward and Nash, that's not to denigrate him as he was a great player and good enough to play International rugby but just unlucky that GB had two half backs with sensational ability at the time.

Red Willow Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I started watching Salford at the best time, players like Steve Nash, Kenny Gill David Watkins, Paul Charlton, Chris Hesketh, Colin Dixon and Keith Fielding. Nash was a tricky little player, loved watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really realised how good Boxer was until I saw him regularly when he came to Whitehaven,he was outstanding every week in a team that struggled after promotion to the top division,didn’t he make the World Xll at that time ?

BadlyOverdrawnBoy Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 One of my favourite memories is of giant "hard man" Paul Ringer picking a fight with Steve Nash, half his size, at Cardiff, and being lifted off the ground by an uppercut to the jaw.
