Wouldn't he be a bit old now? Still there'd always be an opening for him at the Bulls.

Wrong nationality.

this blokes not to obscure, think he played a season or two, defo won JPS trophey, but i walked into my local last night to be greeted by the most drunk welshman ever....... Paul Prendeville, up from wales for the weekend, character, had the place in stitches.

john mcneill lives in castleford and still goes to the featherstone past players reunions.

Brett Delaney

Alan Rathbone?

Used to be a big fan of Eddie Rombo - whatever happened to the Kenyan flier - AWESOME

Played part of the '83/84 season on loan ( I think) from Hull. Scored the match winning try in the JP semi against Leigh at Fartown, and did indeed play in the winning JP final that season.

Don't think this one has been posted sorry if it has.Rob Ackerman?

One of my old mates used to play for Dewsbury with him about a year after he had left Leeds and he was never able to understand the rules of RL then so god knows what he was like at Leeds.

Does anybody remember Morvin Edwards? he was a full back i think in the early 90's (i think they got him to replace Gallagher) really rated him back then.

Did Tony ever make a 1st team appearance?

No, but Kershid did.



He made 7 1st grade appearances, 5 starts and 2 from the bench.

Ironically that was 6 more than his more famous brother managed during his Headingley career.

Andy Staniland. He was a winger - allegedly!

Once again cheers mate.

When Rombo was signed David Ward who was manager at the time was not apparently happy. Think he wanted a forward instead. The Leeds board overuled him after seeing him score a great long distance try. I think they thought he was going to be the next Offiah.
Met him once and he was a really nice guy. Sadly never kicked on for Leeds after that promising start.

Gunn wasn't just not big enough, he wasn't quick enough to play the style he wanted to either at loose forward.

I tell you what sometimes we laugh about these obscure players, but they are the mainstays of all clubs. Its a shame there are less of them around thanks to disbanding the A Teams. A lot of real characters, and guys playing for love of the game. Not to mention some very handy old guys teaching young whippersnappers a thing or two about what to expect in open age rugby. Young props today will miss out on the kind of 'lesson' I remember Roy Holdstock and John Millington of Hull KR giving to Brendan Hill one night.

Edwards was another good player - really liked him. I dont think Ive ever seen a player take so many head high shots and just keep coming back for more. Wouldn't mind him now actually.

The shot Edwards took at the Zoo off Mark Forster was a pearler. It still holds the gum shield propulsion record for speed and distance travelled to this day.

I remember Edwards seeming to get hit in the head a lot. Wonder why? IIRC he had quite an upright running style but its weird how some players just seem to get hit a lot.

I think it was because he had a face only his mum and Southstander.com could love.

Eric Anselme.

Not sure about my memory here but didn't this case become bit of a "cause celebre" and lead to a court case ( said my memory was hazy!) and left the RFU with an indefensible position as their players were taking boot money and they were on the verge of turning pro? Shortly after their banning of players "professionalised" ceased.

He was crap.
