I remember him playing against hull.k.rit was a night game,possibly in the floodlit trophy,2 mins to go we were losingby a point or 2,and lampy broke through,20 yards out only millward to beat,he was playing fullback,we all thought he would take millward with him over the line,but somehow roger jumped up around lampys neck and pulled him straight,down,could,nt believe it,if it had been a 15 stoner he,d have taken him over line,great player,shame about his knees
I remember seeing him destroy Bramley singlehandedly at McLaren Field once (which was unusual as we seemed unable to beat them every time we played them) whilst wearing the number 6 shirt. According to the Yorkshire Evening Post David Topliss had a fantastic game! (he was out injured).
I remember a newspaper headline describing the Topliss / Lambchops partnership as "the sword and the rapier".
You couldn't ask for more from him. Players like him, Nigel Bell, JT become icons from the pure guts and determination they gave.
One of my all time favourites.
