Re: Your Most Favourite Ever Warrington Player : Tue Dec 23, 2014 11:28 am
Les Boyd. Dessie, Blakey, Woods, etc were all superb players and massive favourites of mine, but I cant help but think that when We tell one tale of Dessie doing this that and the other, there are five of Offiah doing it to everyone else, similarly with Woody doing whatever to Hanley, we don't have time to listen to all the tales of what Hanley did to Everyone else.
But Boyd had no Peers ever......not on these shores or Australian..... he stood there week in week out while player after player tried to be the one that could put the hard man on his backside..... some occasionally got the lucky cheap shot in but in the midst of all this carnage he was consistently a superb leader, and an exceptionally strong, tough and skilfull player.
Morley was the closest I've seen in terms of having an aura about him and being able to lift a team on the back of his presence but he didn't have a fraction of Boyd's footballing skills.
my most favourite Modern day player was Brett Hodgson.
