It's absolutely true that without Trevor that would have happened. Everyone else seemed prepared to accept the inevitable.
He became the driving force with a single mindedness that enthused even the most despondent supporters.
Such was his respect in Bradford and the rugby community in general he was able to plant a banner for all to rally round.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Sadly this time around we do not have a banner bearer of his quality, indeed no banner bearer at all.

Agree with all of that, except the last sentence. Trevor Foster was a god to any Northern/Bulls fan, and tbf I don't think anyone I ever came across underestimated his unique and totally irreplaceable quality. The eternal shame is that a statue of him never went up looking over Odsal. However just now I'm glad there isn't one, as it would be weeping.
