Has anyone got game footage of Neil Baker ? love to see them

I have a couple of vids of Paul Shaw in action and he was a class above the team he was playing in , he was either making breaks then turning around and wondering where the hell the support play was , or on the ground looking for his head as opposition teams soon targeted him .

I was in my teens so more impressionable but Ken Gill was a maestro , especially his ability to disguise a lay off or slip pass , mind you he also had Dixon , Coulman , Richards etc to run unto these plays.

Stevie Blakeley certainly wasn't a ' complete ' 5/8 but he certainly had at great 'step and go ' move to take on the line , and his kicking wasn't bad either ! Wasn't as quick when he came back from Wire but they never are 2nd time around ( McAvoy - Naylor etc )

Yeah I've got a VHS of a game at Central Park when we were just pipped by a great Wigan side. I think we were down 20 - 0 at half time and then Baker turned on the style and it eneded up 22-20, even the Wiganers, who were watching a great side of their own, were in a little in awe of him by the end.

Blackcat, some of us Turkey posters are only young whippersnappers (30ish!) and weren't lucky enough to be around to witness the likes of Charlton, Hesketh, Watkins etc etc. "Legends" in our eyes are the likes of Tex Evans, Paul Forber & Blakeley!!! It's like Bolton fans getting all giddy about Ivan Campo & Kevin Davies when old codgers like yourself remember Lofthouse!!!

[iGreat to see Kris Tassle and Steve Blakely back at the Willows last night.[/i

Nice to see Kris Tassel here on Friday as well.Didnt know he still lived over here.Anyone know why he stayed in England or was he just here on Holiday?

Search for 'Souths v Manly 1986' on YouTube. There's a cracking try by Baker.

Don't post the link because it will be removed.

I was a member at Fitness First gym in town a couple of years back and he was working as a fitness instructor there. Not sure if he's still there now though. I reckon I was the only member that actually knew who he was
