The MP for Wirral who has resigned. Is he the Steve Hesford that played for wire in the 70's ?
He came from Blackpool way and from a fairly well-off family.
Surely one of the best goal-kickers Wire have ever had !
He used to kick for touch with a place-kick, made many yards every kick too.

The only kicker who I ever saw who was more consistent was Frano Botica. |

Correct me if I'm wrong.
He was one of 3 brothers. One played rugby Union, One played football & Steve played league. The strange was that they were all capped at international level & played for England within the same year.

Iain Hesford played in goal for Blackpool and in doing so followed in his father's foorsteps who also appeared in goal for Blackpool. Father Bob only appeared once for Blackpool but played many times for Huddersfield Town either side of the war. I'm suprised more people haven't read of father Bob Hesford's exploits in the international best-seller and Booker nominated "Huddersfield Town - Cards and Stcikers" available direct from the author here - homepage.ntlworld.com/roger.pashby/ |

Bill McLaren was once commentating when Bob Hesford was playing in an England RU International - mentioned how the Hesfords were a sporting family because not only did Bob play for RU for England but brother Iain also played in goal for Sunderland - he declined to make any mention of the sporting exploits of the other brother Steve - wonder why ?.

Are you sure?......"dig heel in the ground, pop ball in hole, three paces back, two to the left.....welly".....
I thought he was one of the last straight toe-end kickers not around the ball style?  Can't quite remember  |

Hesford was a round the corner kicker - my screensaver at home is a pic of him in action at Wilderspool!

Superb goal kicker, best of his time. He had the unusual style of a place kick for touch also.
Having a player with his kicking ability was worth the two points when we had a penalty in our own half, and with a try worth only 3 points a goal was easy points.

| Great goal kicker was Shirley but always looked as though he was going to be a better player than he actually was (you had to be there)  |
