Quote ="Wigan Peer"Wigan bias on the Wigan board... hardly a shock. My vote would be Sullivan too.'"
Even as a great fan of Clive Sullivan the player, and the person, I honestly don't think he would be in contention for this honour if he hadn't died a tragic early death.
His Wembley connections are no more than many players and his case seems to be built around captaining England to a 'countback' victory in the 1972 World Cup in front of less than 5000 fans in France!
I am amazed there isn't more of a push for Andy Gregory to be honoured.
Here is a truly great dual Lance Todd Trophy winner who is completely synonymous with Wembley, having never lost in nine visits - an astonishing and unprecedented statistic!
Having never been sent off on the ground and, having never taken up ranks with the sport's enemy, his case demolishes that of Edwards and Hanley!
