What sad news... one of the those players who you always feared when he turned out for the opposition.
RIP David

My girl-friend looked me in the eye, and asked "Do you love me, more than you love Swinton?" I replied "If I said yes, would you believe me?"

This one is hard to believe and hard to take. The bloke always looked after himself and didn't carry any weight. Was sheer class as a RL player and always carried himself well.
On a night when some bloke kills himself and his kids this one is pretty hard to take.

Very sad news indeed.
Remember well the time he won the Lance Todd trophy playing for Wakefield even though on the losing side.

Very sad. He was a great Stand Off and he did us in the CC replay at Elland Rd. I think he captained Hull that day and won the MOM.
RIP

A great playmaker and a stand off in the great British tradition. I used to see him quite frequently businesswise after he retired, when I was involved in British Steel Tubes at Stourrton. RIP David. |
