Like Pop Tart I met my Rugby League hero last night. Top bloke , he had time for everybody and was still there signing autographs and chatting to fans going on for midnight. His love for the club and fans was absolutely genuine.



Good also to see the likes of Colin Maskill, Nigel Stephenson, Nigel Bell and Mike Lampkowski along with other ex players at the event.

Anybody know what happened to the original Lindsay Gill ? I believe he had an interesting history before Wally brought him over as his on field minder !I guess we can always ask Wally on monday.

Tbh I'm similar in the fact I never got to see him play even though I was living about a mile away. The reason though was a little different, as a kid I just wasn't that into watching the game. I'd been with my dad on a number of occasions and he went to see him lay everytime just about. But all my Autumn/winter time was filled up playing RL/RU and Swimming

When they asked for questions I wrote a couple.

One I asked was "Tell us about Lynsey Gill.

The guy didn't read it out. I reckon he thought it was a dodgy question.

Ask again on Monday.

I would'nt touchy subject! Done for armed robbery a few years back.

OMG ! If you saw him play you knew he was a hard man but flipping heck!

Not that many rl angels in the days before super league.

As I remember it he was inside before he came to us. That's why he was available. Gave Wally some professional level protection.

Orange boots I remember and yes I think he came to us with a somewhat chequered past. He wouldn’t last five minutes in today’s game.

Different game and different times altogether now.

But in those days that's what they needed.
