Goulding, simply because of his "scrubber fringe"

Newlove for thinking he was better than Connolly.

Sonny Nickle for being Sonny Nickle and having a scrubber fringe.

Scott Gibbs for being an overweight rugby union player and severely overrated.

Tommy Martyn for being ugly.

Anthony Sullivan for being a poor mans Martin Offiah and making a bad job of it.

so freakin true!!!

30 year old man with a skin head and a fringe. Doesn't get more "St Helens" than that.

Imagine him going in the barbers......."Number one all over mate.....but leave the fringe"

We used to see him loads out and about with his Mrs and kids and he always had the same tracksuit on



very 'St Helens'

Don't be. He was a dirty pleb.

How so?

Let me throw Chris Smith into the mix.
Would lash out everytime he was tackled, throw punches but would hide behind the big boys when it got tasty.......and he was $hite!

Classic. I referred to it as a Cowley Cut due to the youngsters from that school absolutely loving it. I was far too middle class to go for something like that.

He was bloody rubbish at times. The week before the '99 grand final, Bradfrod thrashed us at Odsal and scored about 4 by kicking to him. Goodness knows why they didn't try same in the final.

There was also an amusing video from the season before when we've played Castleford and Alan Hunte was giving him loads.

To be fair to the guy, though, I think he does a lot of work off the pitch in the community these days and may actually be a decent chap.

Im trying to compose a list of all sportsmen who have had "scrubber fringes"

Classic St Helens.

Briers defo had one back in the day. More reason to hate him.

Sonny Nickle's was a corker, completely bald head with a fringe.

Nickle was just trying to look like Hanley!

Sly punches in the tackle, knees to the head, constantly dropping the elbow on tackled players, just general sly thuggish stuff.

That's the guy!

Why did you hate them? Is it because they're world class talents and were you jealous?

one day you might understand. Once you have some history, grow in stature and a rivalry with another local large team.

Pickavance - utter knob.

But Chris Smith, not just when he played for Stains, but he was the slyest coward I ever saw. If you were small and on the ground, he'd have a go, but run off quickly after a few kicks or punches.

loved it when Skerrett sorted him out.

Really? I never notice - that's bias for you

Next thing you'll be saying it wasn't a voluntary tackle.

How did he manage to do all that when he was asleep?

So true, 'orrible niggly little barsteward he was. Imagine him scrapping with Paul Bishop



The biggest villains for me were Hunte, Martyn and Nickle in that order. All probably great blokes off the field, but proper "St Helens" on it
