Garry Atkins
Ben Galea (at Wakefield )
Steve Hartley
David Bishop
Paul Harkin
Paul Manson
James Webster v Hull I think the score was 42-6?



David Hoskins (The Mule)

galea at magig weekend v wire!!!!!!!

Good one forget that

Paul Mansson every time. The opposition players knew it was coming but could never stop him!

Webster on Senior, Did him a fair few times in that game and left him for dead.

Pah,your all too young,easily David laws at boulevard probably 3 sidesteps on his way to scoring, 83,84 ish .Even my mate a true B&W says it was the best try he has seen at the boulevard

Beat me too it. Made Gary Kemble look like a pub team player.

Too long ago though for 90% of Rovers fans



In recent times it would have to be Galea at the magic weekend and also Wakey away last season.

yes it was david laws best i have seen in years and even better with it been against hull

Dave Watson had a cracking side-step.

For a moment i thought you was refering to Mason and the overseas quota system.

seriously hated Laws after his efforts,
Going further back both Steve Hartley anf Alan(?) Burwell both possessed a nifty pieve of footwork

I remember that try, he turned the guy inside out on the way to the try line though was it Kemble or Leului who was trying to chase him back?,whichever, it certainly was a try to be remembered and had the whole of the rovers end going berserk, good times!.

I remember Jon Steel going the length of the field and turning the whole of the Donny team inside out on his way to the try line. It was a mid week game, after turning Wire over in the CC game.

Steve "dancer" Hartley. nuff said

Peter (Flash) Flanagan. nobody has every matched his sidestep. Great player.

Quick question for you oldies; As i didnt get to see the likes of "Flash" play.
Obviously the game has picked up speed with regards to gameplay and quickness (better pitches/fitter players) so do you think a player in this day and age that can side step someone and make them look like mugs (Burrows does it often) would have a better side step then someone who did it in the old days on dodgy pitches against less agile/fitter players?

What about Gordon Smith?

John dorahy

un-biased opinion steve hartley by a mile

He certainly earned his nickname the dancer

.

Correct.

Paul Harkin had a good side step too.
Dave Watson also

Oi!!, less of the oldies stuff, the correct term is chronologically gifted generation.

I remember Gary Prohm heading for the corner then wrong footing three defenders and going in under the sticks. I think it was against Halifax.

Big John millington (when it was his round)

I agree, since my first game in 1963 I have yet to see a better Rovers player at the side step and then vvvvvrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!
