Quote ="anwar1983huddersfield"I just love my Rugby league and I've been impressed with the club and it's fans, definately Super league quality. The ground is spanky and needs to be shown off on skysports against the top sides. I can't see how Widnes can't be included when the new licences are announced. The history, the facilities, the youth setup, the community work, the financial security it's all there.'"
Thanks for that.Yes,everything is in place and it would be criminal if Widnes were refused a licence next time.Many of our fans would walk away from the game forever should we be rejected after adhering to the criteria to the letter.No doubt we would once again be labelled as whingers,usually by fans of clubs with a safe seat in SL or those of championship clubs who never had a hope in hell of a licence.
Mick Burke was some player,winner of countless medals at Widnes plus the Lance Todd and Harry Sunderland trophies.My favourite performance from Mick was in the 1982 Premiership Final at Leeds when we hammered Hull.Mick had been laid up for weeks and weeks with a back injury but made his return for this game.He was overweight,not match fit and was playing against the best team in the country in the afternoon heat.He should'nt really have been playing in such a big game but walked off as man of the match.Cool as you like.Our finest full back by some distance.
