yes are you familiar with walnut?

Correctamundo.

Kevin Ashcroft, John Bevan and Mike Nicholas were named in the 1974 GB squad to tour NZ and Aus. Parry was widely tipped to go as number 2 scrum half to Steve Nash. His only rival was Alan Bates of Dewsbury. The week before the squad was named Wire beat Dewsbury and Parry wiped the floor with Bates, scoring 5 tries in the process. Bates was named in the squad

Funnily enough I did know him, although I steered clear of his old fella. I also seem to remember a couple of dudes called Oatway and Pumph - bringing back the biff, big style

small time biff merchants.

Wasn't the team manager a Dewsbury official?

Your a leyther, the interweb says so.

You're trying to make out you're all Ciro Citterio when in fact you're not, you're a phoney.

The tour manager was Reg Parker of Blackpool Borough - not sure if any Dewsbury officials were part of the charade

You only started to go in February??,....

friends with his daughter, was he any good ?

For a big bloke he could sure as hell score some tries! Seem to remember him getting 30 (maybe a couple more too) one season.

Was he any good? He came from nowhere and was an absolutely brilliant 2nd row. He attacked the line had good hands, wasn't a bad kicker either.

i'm sure he still holds record for most trys in a season for a forward,

he once walloped me for nicking a pint of milk from his door step!

Really is a difficult one this, to pick just 5 really makes you think. But i could actually do 3 or 4 lists with other quality briish players in

The team used to be selected by a selection committe like the cricket team is now. The head of selectors was a senior figure at Dewsbury RLFC

Really difficult this as I went to my first game at Wilderspool in 67, but I'll go for:

Mike Gregory
Bobby Greenhough
John Woods
Parry Gordon
John Bevan

Couldn't find room for Mark Roberts or Jiffy in the 5 unfortunately. Robbo was superb and would have been one of the best players we ever had if it hadn't been for chronic knee problems. Remember him playing out of position at centre at Central park (89?) up against Kevin Iro. Robbo slung him round the pitch like a rag doll. Great stuff

Steve Hesford
Phil Ford
Bob Eccles
Jonathon Davies
Dave Chisnall

Good list!

About time somebody mentioned Chissy - he used to look like a cartoon character with his tiny little feet (twinkle toes) and his small patch of hair on his balding forehead.

Hesford took some stcik from opposition fans, and our own at times, but I have never seen anyone so reliable under a high ball - if he didn't catch it we got a penalty.

My 2 best memories of Bob were
(i) against Wigan when he hurdled over a player on the ground and and caught Henderson Gill with a knee to the head (but made it look accidental), and then he picked him up like a rag doll to try and show the ref he was okay, then just dropped him back on his face.
(ii) the first game after we had a big W painted in the in goal area he went in wide of the posts at the Fletcher End, dummied placing the ball down just short of the little half back who was trying to stop him going under the sticks, only to deck him with a cracking hand off, trample over him and dive theatrically onto the W for the try, and the rapturous ovation from the home fans
