| Quote ="Mild Rover"I thought this might be a good idea to help while away the rest of the offseason, and also celebrate the start of a new decade ([u2011 technically[/u, I know!) and the new look boards. Makes for a slight variation on the 'all-time 13' threads. We can add a new member each year, but as we have 125+ years to catch up on and everybody picking Roger Millward as the first inductee would be boring, I think we should have 5 in this first year (ie Millward + 4). I don't think a poll would work, so we'll have to give the final selection method some thought. A committee or, if another board steals my brilliant idea
, some sort of reciprocal arrangement, perhaps. To help retain perspective and in the traditions of these things, nominees must have retired from the sport.
Anyway, because I think, for obvious reasons, his era is likely to be neglected, my nominee is Arthur Moore.
Moore signed for Rovers for the 1906/7 season from Hull St. Patrick's for 10p. He played for the club either side of the First World War, making 342 appearances and scoring 90 tries in total. He captained Rovers to their first ever championship in 1923, scoring a try in the 15-5 victory over Huddersfield in the equivalent of the Grand Final. 3 years later, now aged 39, his Rovers career came to an end when he was transferred to Dewsbury for a fee of £250!'"
Technically its from 2010

| Jack Spamer.
Held the club appearance record until beaten by Mike Smith, which is amazing considering there were no subs and he had to go and fight in WW11. I knew Jack and he was a gentleman and was so proud of having played for us. He was once selected for a Probables v Possibles to select a tour party, but the game was midweek in the afternoon in Leeds and his gaffer said he couldn't have the time off. One memory i have of him was in Aces club on Newbridge Rd, when some big bloke was kicking off at a woman and swearing at her, Jack tapped him on the shoulder and said 'you don't talk like that to a lady' and flattened him with one punch, he was about 70 at the time.

| The late,great Cyril Kellett. For all you younger fans, you missed a treat. Cyril never broke into a trot when he was the last line of defence but had such immaculate timing he very rarely missed his man. An immaculate goalkicker and a very nice man as well.
