I long for a winger to do airplanes like Brimah Kebbie. What about Tahi Rhiana (excuse the spelling) the only prop forward to be less than 5ft tall.

Henry Paul. The best player i've ever seen pull on a Bradford jersey. He had everything, and was truly world class.

Agree Henry Paul has been one of the best players of the Superleague era but he had his best days before joining the Bulls. Was a great player for us though and can't doubt his class.

admitedly henry was a very talented player but to say that he had [ueverything[/u?
did you ever see henry play?
as henry couldn't have [utackled[/u a hot dinner


he was often [uun-stop-a-bull [/u in attack though

For flashy wingers, what about the Bantu Bombshell?

I'd swear he could actually fly, as opposed to Eric Battens's "leaps" . . . . and a nice bloke too.

I agree with all the above, all of them (except Mr. Zisti) were great players for the club, and truly Legends. One player that I watched at Odsal a long time ago was Bill Ramsay....We got him from Leeds for a couple of seasons and for me, he was the Best ball playing Prop that Ive ever seen.. A very nice guy.. Another nice guy off the field was Frank Foster.. always worth a mention..

Karl Fairbank, my favourite ever Bradford player in the following team:

Keith Mumby
Big Les
Shontayne
Paul Newlove
Jack Maclean
Henry Paul
Deacs
Stuart Fielden
Sir James
Sam Burgess
Koncrete
Beaver
Ellery

Robbie
Big Joe
Paul Anderson
Jamie Peacock

I loved watching Graeme Bradley play

Never blessed with pace but always seemed to make space for himself to play

Added bit of bite to the side too!!

Definitely my catalyst for the bulls early SL success

Mike Forshaw and James Lowes at their pomp tackling like lions nearly unpassable

Robbie/Henry. Mumby. The Redfearns.

I could go on. So much really.

For me - Handley.

I know it was almost thirteen years ago, but has Stuart Cummings ever admitted that he got the sending off wrong in the game at St's?
Spent a fortune ringing the Sky Man of the Match line that night

I would have liked to have seen Eric Batten hurdle that Leeds player.

Normally when I imagine myself doing great deeds entirely in my head I'm pretty bloody good at them. I've saved lives, sung on stage, won the girl and blown up death stars and done it all without so much as breaking a sweat. I cannot for the life of me hurdle that player without kicking him in the head though.

Is kicking him in the head due to the fact he plays for Leeds?

No sign of a head in the picture I'm thinking of. Maybe Eric had already kicked it off.

You mean this one, right?



His head could indeed be slightly out of frame to the upper right.

I still can't do it in my head even when I've just seen the picture. All I see is a red card and increasing numbers of fans vaulting the hordings (with more aplomb than me) and trying to lynch me.

You'd have to trail the leg wouldn't you

I'm going to have to lead with at least one leg unless it's going to be a swan dive.

Hanley in his 'mega-season' at stand off (84-85?) was a joy to watch, even as an opposition supporter. He probably shone even more because he wasn't playing in anything like the strongest Bradford team I've seen but he was absolutely on fire. I even made a (very rare) trip to watch Bradford vs Wigan in the Cup to see him take on Brett Kenny, and wanted Bradford to win.

We were done in that game thanks to Gill's offside/in touch try.
