He established himself in the position while still a teenager. He played in the first Premiership final as an 18 year old and became a fixture about the place greeting all with his welcoming grin which belied his on field role. Always seemingly happy go lucky, he knew he had and relished the toughest of jobs and was always prepared to listen and learn from those more experienced and hardened around him. He bridged the gap between the old fashioned enforcer and the impact front rower off the bench – which was best seen at Wembley in 1978 when he made a big difference sustaining the comeback. A genuine club man and real player’s player.
