Ullman Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I remember him well. What a fine player he was. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymala Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Starred on the wing in Saints' 1970 Championship Final defeat of Leeds and then went on to become one of the best and most consistent forwards in the game for over a decade. Says everything about the strength of the game then that he was unable to earn international honours because he was central to trophy winning teams at Salford and Widnes. RIP.
