Played alongside Liam Kent, Danny Nicklas, Scott Taylor, Jack Aldous among others knocking around the Championship. Also played against plenty of the players coming through at Leeds, Bradford, Wigan etc. through service area in the past.
Although must say not that many seem to have made the leap to pro from my age group of players.
At various times I played with lee jackson, lee richardson, tony sullivan, richard gay, rob nolan, craig o'brien (played for rovers), and probably a couple more I've forgotten. Also had chico (although anyone who knows him will know his nickname was actually Jeeko) on the wing when I was at greatfield but he was playing a year or 2 over his age at the time
In the late 70`s early 80`s whilst I was in my early twenties there was loads of ex pro`s playing worksport league rugby in and around Hull. Right hard ba**ards everyone of them. Used to come off and you would literally ache all week after being hit by any of them. They never lost it. In the 80`s I played against the `All Hull Allstars`, what a team, talk about being overawed. They just oozed class even in their late years. Alan Burwell was the fastest on the pitch at his age of 50 plus.
