Good morning Wilf, great to have you and your diary back, so we can get our Monday morning FC/RL fix. Cheers mate another great read. Thank you.

Cheers Wilf good read. You'll have to get off that keg stuff though and drink summat decent

Arthur Keegan would be my number one choice of full back as well,the man had it all.He even had his own song that the kids would sing.

thanks for this weeks read Wilf, a trip down memory lane with one of the all time greats, Arthur, was well worth the read. In years gone by we've always been well served at full back - Mick Kendal & Paul Hunter and laterly Richard Gay come to mind.

brilliant diary once again, what a player arthur keegan was,I saw him in a game at york, when their centre broke through with his winger outside him, but they were too close together, arthur took them BOTH into touch!!!! I am thinking the same as you about the chase situation he really would give us that X factor of unpredictability, and of course his signing would greatly help the pass sales!

Another great read but I don't know about Arthur Keegan heading for relative obscurity after 1980. He was a very good commentator on Radio Leeds for a number of years. So good that I remember him been talked of as a favourite to replace Eddie Waring. His downfall was probably that he was too good, Ray French suited the BBC agenda as an RL presenter much better.

Is this Darren Holdsworth any relation to Daniel Holdsworth?

Thanks for my weekly fix Wilf. How great it was to read about dear old Arthur Keegan. This guy to me was the fiercest tackler in Rugby League. I can imagine opposition players quaking in their boots at the thought of Arthur putting them into the threepenny stand. Whereas Arthur was probably one of the best signings we ever made, I notice you also mention Pin McMillan, who I would think is probably one of the worst. Even as a youngster I could tell this guy would never be good enough for our team.
As you say its been a rare old season, but I think we can all look forward with great optimism to next year. Looking forward to catching up with you at the book launch.

Too young to remember Arthur, but I do appreciate the skills of a good fullback. We have had some great ones over the years, for me the greatest of my era was the Crayfish himself Gary Kemble. What a player AK must have been for you (and others that saw him play) to hold him in such high esteem.

Great read as usual Wilf, thanks.

welcome back wilf.hope you enjoyed your wee break.thanks for another smashing read,especialy the article about arthur keagan.my all time here.i remember one game ,i was in threepenny stand,and arthur had caught the buall on the full,and as he set of towards the opposition, he had dick gemmel on one side,and clive sullivan on the other,and a wag behind me said ,here they go,the father,the son and the holy ghost.the fantastic three.
