Kevin Tamati was here when Gregory was here because they both played in the 1986 Championship final v Halifax but I think Gregory had left for Wigan before Roach and Davidson came. I know my memory plays tricks on me but it would appear that AG's is even worse.


Yes, Andy Greg never played in the Roach & Davidson era, he'd left by then. Phil Blake was also here during the Roach/Davidson season and I think he played half-back alongside John Woods most of the time. Woodsy certainly played at half-back (alongside Rocky Turner I think) in the Maine Rd CC semi in which Roach, but not Davidson or Blake, figured. Souths wouldn't release the latter two.

Worst player I ever saw was Bradford's Marco van Bellen (with a not so silent D at the end).

One game at Wilderspool he took someone's head off and faked an injury until the next play the ball where he jumped up and booted the semi conscious wire player fully in the head whilst the officials we're continuing play.

7. Sonny Nickel

ex saints player who is a friend of mine still says that Nickle is the dirtiest player he has ever seen.

he used to smash his own players in training.

in one training tackle, nickle got 'revenge' on him because he bought a dummy off him and made him look stupid, which resulted in howls of laughter.... he did this my charging the ball in and raising his elbow at the last min into his face... the player in question broke his eye socket in 5 places and broke his jaw.... saints brushed it under the carpet and told him to say it was 'an unfortunate clash of heads'...

he did this on more than one occasion.. but not with such severe consequences.... always to young players as well.

You lot are too young to have seen Saints player Duggie Greenall....He was seriously disturbed...I once saw him push Wire player Bill McFarlane(some would say he too had mental health issues)at Knowsley Road head first into the wall when he was well in touch....Wire never even got a penalty I suppose it was considered to be on off-pitch incident.....Years late Duggie pulled me a pint at his St Helens pub...You wouldn't have thought it was the same bloke.

Off topic...Can whoever runs the site put the clock right ? I THANK YOU !!

Re: Dirty Players : Fri Sep 19, 2014 8:12 am  
I like the fact that the blinkered pie eaters who are tit for tatting are justifying their teams lack of care for other players welfare by using Ben Westwood in last year's grand final, a one off incident he should have been punished harsher for and then having to go back thirty years to name a player that was into fisticuffs at times.

It'd be clutching at straws to say they're clutching at straws, I'd be embarrassed if that was my defence.

Mentioned this on here the other day, we'll be sat here in 10 years time and they'll probably still be using the Bennie incident to justify stuff

The Harrison Hanson shoulder charge that helped to caused Stef's damaged ankles was also dirty play surely ,especially when shoulder charges were outlawed.

Amazed that no-one has mentioned Alan Rathbone. Seriously unhinged.
