Although suffering from polio at the age of seven, he went to star for Salford in those heady days of the 70's. He started at Wian and is recorded as being jointly the first substitute for Wigan. He moved to Salford in 1967. He became captain of the team and, in 1974, captain of the Great British Lions tour of down-under.

Thanks for your 128 tries for Salford: you'll be remembered for that try that the ref did not give.
Rest In Peace
except in dummying St Peter.
