Just watching old videos youre reminded how good he was I played against Craig Stalker one day and his ability to change direction at speed was an eye opener for somebody like me. I only saw one centre outplay TK and his name was Paul Newlove ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of the funniest things I remember from that era was him apologising to a Keighley player after throwing him a huge dummy that he took. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTRLFC WEBSITE Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Sorry to bring it back to the thread, although great to reminisce about quality centres! Our attendance was 1395, not 1337 as originally declared. Great support, let's do it again v Doncaster in 3 weeks time!

pmac Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Great atmosphere on Sunday, and in the past a couple of pints at the most, and the lads I stand with would have moved on. Though on Sunday we were all still there late on to spend money which can only be good for the club, and the thing I noticed were old faces who haven't been down for years, ( UTT ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTT Well even better and as Mr Unicorn says there's nothing like a sunny day anThe bod ad a run of wins to tempt long lost townies back. The BOD have worked wonders this season with events sponsors and trying to keep the stadium and its facilities in use for far more that this leagues 9 home gates would normally bring. This is not lost on the local populous who are desperate to have a feel good factor in these difficult economic times. The decision to offer entry for a fiver to boost the crowd for the ladies match is to be applauded by us all. Once again well done bod and volunteers for your hard work and glad the results are been seen by community support through the gates and over the bars I am sure.

All about opinions mate and am well aware which position they played but if you watched closely it was Paddy making a lot of the gaps the gaps for Ken to run through. No doubt Ian was a class finisher but hard to say who has been the best, Jim Crellin, Ecky Bell, Tony Kay, Kieran O'Loughlin were all class acts and if you want to go back to Eppies days what about Tony Paskins, the list goes on and on, impossible to say who was the best, all different eras with widely differing circumstances for example the pace of the game today is unrecognisable to those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could throw Johnny Jones into the mix as well, pace to burn and knew where the tryline was. I remember once having a crack with Ike and he said the best centre he ever played with at Town was Bill Wookey.
