Yes I am sure he did, but I can't remember who it was against!
One forward who I had hoped to see picked in someone's team was one of my boyhood heroes - David Jeanes, a great prop forward.

| Quote imwakefieldtillidie="imwakefieldtillidie"Does anyone remember the winger David Jones we signed from Oldham? Took ages to get his fist try but seemed to make a break every time he got the ball. I think him and Paul Round came together.'" David jones think toppo signed him after a barla tour came from wigan st pats remember his 1st try being in the challenge cup at carlisle, at the end he was on adrian shelfords shoulders outside the changing rooms with wakey fans chanting jonesy for britain. Fond memories.

| Going back to the Slater 7, I seem to think it was against Batley. Then there was Barney Ward kicking about a dozen in one game.
Regarding 2nd rowers, does anyone remember Peter Harrison who we bought from Feath for about £1500, what a revelation he was. He carried the ball in 2 hands and when the opposition came to tackle him upstairs he'd push them off with the ball. Sadly his career ended one Good Friday when he was defending the Doncaster Road end (versus Cas I think) and I can still hear the 'crack' as his leg broke, the leg was amputated.
Yep David Jeanes another favourite.
Geoff Wraith was a good fullback, but Trevor Midgely under the high ball is another story.

From what I remember after he left Wigan for Trinity , Ashurst had some bad injuries and did not play that much. His better days being before his transfer IMO.
Lampowski was a good player though.

Poor Trevor,he cacked himself everytime under the high ball.
He would have made a good scapegoat and enemy number one in the modern era.
