I remember Ces Mountford very well he was the most fantastic player, my first R.L. hero. He had a technique that if he was tackled around the legs he could fall forward do a somersault if the tacle wasn't tight get his legs free and carry on running. I saw him do this dozens of times and the roars when it happened were huge. If he had to kick a goal in front of the posts he would just put the ball down raise his foot and kick the goal in about 20 seconds I never saw him miss. He never played for Warrington although he coached them. In those days we used to say all the Wigan team were born within 6 miles of Central Park except for 2 New Zealanders Ces and Brian Nordgren. Not an Aussie in sight

I just hope we have a minutes silence on Friday for him.

Also it would be brilliant if Sky could show some old video clips of him.

I've just e-mailed boots n all.

One of my very favourite players. He was a tremedous half-back; one of the best I have had the privilege of watching. He was a half-back well before his time; he would not have disgraced himself playing today. RIP Ces !!

Asked my grandad about him and he said Wigan originally signed Ces as a centre but he was proving pretty useless in that position and Jim Sullivan was thinking about sending him home. But they tried him at Stand Off and the rest they say is history.

It mite be more approiate to have a minuites silence at the semi final beacuse he served wire very well as a coach.

He would have been a bit small to play centre. He was only about 5ft nothing, as was his 'partner in crime' Tommy Bradshaw.
