if there was a player like Neil fox available We wouldn' get him cause we won't spend the Damn salary cap even tho he'd bring lots more money thru the turnstiles & possibly some silverware. We'd have to get him at Neil's original salary to sign him now

He's far more relevant to this age and city than an over priviliged anachronism that passed away 117 years ago

So much a part of my life. I was taken to my first game around 1957 at age of 6 , coinciding with the great man starting his career.
With all of today’s fitness/ training methods he would have been sensational in the modern era.
Class is class.

I have been lucky enough to watch Big Neil throughout his career at Wakey and also on TV when he left. Definitely one of the greatest ever to play our game. There was always a rumour going round that he didn't like to tackle. Often he didn't need to. I always remember a game at Belle Vue and the opposing winger set off on a run. Neil went after him. 'Tackle him Neil' shouted the crowd. B***er that thought Neil. He ran alongside the winger and just nudged shoulders. The bloke overbalanced and fell into touch. Loved it.

My hero when I was a kid.

Also when taking about tries only being three points, let's not forget he kicked his goals without the use of heaps of sand or plastic tees.

then kicked it straight between the posts from the halfway line.

Foxy rarely place kicked a ball, most of the time he made a small divot with his toe and used the term cannon kick where the ball was placed forward and not back enabling him to get his toe to the point of the ball as they didn't use kicking tees in those days, a technicality I know, but with the shape of the ball then very much different to what it is now, the ball he kicked with back in the day was far bigger and rounder than what we use today.
