He took some stopping when he was near the line, Tony.

Didn't he go on to have quite a decent career Down Under after he left Wigan?

He is yes

i think he went to Manly

His middle name is Roy, Kevin's middle name is Leslie.

From Wiki:

[iWhilst playing for The Adelaide Rams in the Round 13 game against the St George Dragons, Iro received the ball ten metres out from the Dragons line with ten seconds remaining. In what is considered the only instance of this event occurring, Iro proceeded to run forward at the defensive line, then slowly began to run backwards and continued to run backwards to his own 40 metre line were he would be tackled and the game would end with a 22 to 20 victory for the Rams. This is considered one of the greatest moments in the history of rugby league and by far the greatest moment in the short history of the now defunct Adelaide Rams.[/i

So one of 'Big T's greatest achievements was running backwards. They'd have put a statue up for Mark Calderwood.
