For me it would have to be without doubt Billy Boston and Brian McTigue. The story's I hear from older supporters about the way these two played the game is unbelievable. Even the limited footage I've seen of the two of them, shows what great players they were.



I would have loved to have seen the both of them live in the flesh gracing Central Park. Unfortunately it was a little before my time.

I know he played for wire but it has to be Bevan for me some of my earliest RL memories when i started playing & loving the game as a youngster are off my grandad raving about how good he was

Boston

Sullivan

Kenny

David Vaealiki

I was lucky enough to see Billy B, McTigue, Murphy, Bolton, Fox, Van Voll & Bevan etc. However my mam still talks about Tommy Bradshaw, Ces Mountford and Brian Nordgren, so they are the players I would love to have seen.

I remember Boston lacing up the boots for a testimonial I think it was Colin Clarkes, there were players from Everton and Georgie Fame turned up, it was quite a few years later that I heard that he had been a decent player before he turned to a musical career.

stains fans will say eastmond and wheeler

Salford fans phil bailey ha-ha!

I would love to have seen Murphy and obviously Bevan

One of Clive Powell (Georgie Fames) best mates was Frankie Parr.

Slightly off topic, he (Georgie Fame) turned up one afternoon at the Riverside Club for one of Billy B's testimonial events and did about an hour on stage. Fantastic afternoon.

My wish is not just a player but a stadium as well . I would loved to have seen Billy Boston at Central Park . Or even just a game at Central Park , but alas before my conversion to RL .

Luke Davico - i missed his 2 minute Wigan career

Rogues. I saw most of those players you mentioned (not to sure about Bradshaw and Mountford).

I remember going to Central Park on a Wednesday night (late August 1955 I think) and England were playing the 0ther Nationalities,if my memory is correct the other Nationalities threequarters lined up as follows.



Brian Bevan RW.

Billy Boston RC.

Lewis Jones LC.

Brian Nordgren LW.



That was a backline to savour.
