Really sad to hear of his passing. He was a cracking player. Yes, he was hard to tackle but he was also skillful. He was also an honourable player. Absolutely no grubbiness or sportsmanship in his game.
Rugby League was part of my life when I lived on the M62 corridor - worked with a lad who was a Salford fan ( before the Reds bollocks ) and my ex-brother-in-law played for them. When I had a gap in the schedule I went to Oldham and Rochdale RLFC's and I always remember in the background if I was home on a Saturday as a kid the sound of Eddie Waring then Ray French's voices coming out of the telly.
