That was Gary Price the former York second-rower.
Gary H. Price played for Wakfield and Fev.
They played together in the same team at Featherstone, hence the Gary 'H'. Price.

Wasn't anything to do with training shoes was it ?

did'nt once take over tenancy of one of those rough pubs near kirkgate market either the regent or the now defunct scotsman?

Phil Cookson had his testimonial year the same year as Steve Pitchford. Their testimonial game was against Widnes and we won 60- something. All game the Widnes players battered Steve Pitchford but relented in the last minute when he scored, then converted his only try of the game.

Many faces I didnt remember - I thought Cookson was about one third of the way into the line from the North Stand. Could be wrong though.

Phil Cookson was not there.
