Preston was like **** off a shovel over the first 30-40 metres whereas Offiah was far taller with 4 1/2 foot legs so took some getting going.... Wouldn't surprise me if he had beaten him though, great player ! |

He was in a team where he didn't need to, he did what a winger should do, score tries. |

Still a good player though. |

Remember Phil Ford catching Preston tackling him then standing over Preston with his legs locked between his like a cowboy who had just lasooed a calf, and stood milking the aplause from the crowd. Classic moment.

Fastest player we had was probably Gary Henley-Smith.
Ran 10.7 for the 100m which is very quick indeed.

He was an Empire Games sprinter rather than Commonwealth Games.

1968 - A second member of the returning Lions team to South Africa goes north. Welsh wing and Empire Games sprinter Keri Jones joins Wigan Rugby League club where he is expected to succeed the recently-retired Billy Boston. |

Well, he was born in 1945 and the last "Empire Games" were in 1950.
The last "Empire and Commonwealth Games were in 1966" which would have made him 21, so let's assume it was that he competed in.
He didn't win any medals and the 100 YARDS 3rd place was 9.52 which is about 10.40-10.5 sec for the 100m
So unless he was nipping at the heels of the finalists, I would still say Henley-Smith was the fastest Wigan player of all time. |
