Double, Alan Rathbone is your man.

Alan Rathbone, GB international at the time he signed for Leeds IIRC.



Rumour has it he was incarcerated at HMP Haverigg near Barrow and played for their prison team in the Barrow & District local competition.

The prototype for James Roby and Mickey Higham? All zip and no skill?

I know the identity of one of the various AN Others from the late 70s.



He was first choice hooker for Roundhay RU at the time but the boot money at Roundhay was more than he could earn playing for Leeds Colts

Wickerman, I remember Sean Miller well. After the JP final win at Wigan ,1983 ? against Widnes most of the team were celebrating at the now long gone Smiths Arms on Marsh Lane.

Miller was making a nuisance of himself and somebody decked him



not hard really he only looked about 8 stone dripping wet

jimmy dunn

Howard Budby

after mcneill i was thinking windy miller & there he was



how many 'replacements' were tried for david ward till maskill & lowes had long runs?



after kevin dick & mark conway in the early eighties was there a consistent scrum half till ryan sheridan had a few seasons?

Patrick Entat

Would that hooker be the one who went on to play for England ?

No, I doubt it anyway





He played for several other RU clubs under false names though, in fact he was a bit of a mercenary and once played in three separate rounds of the John Player Trophy for three different clubs under three different names - when we went to watch him we had to keep our mouths shut in case we used his proper name, I was once asked by a well dressed clubman at Fylde who their new hooker was that week and I couldn't answer him even though he'd seen me bring their "new" hooker to the ground in my car

was he a cricketer as well?



remember a local league cricketer who poss played league & union
