Regarding Birchall & Cherryholme, I'm assuming they had the "right" attitude, ie. a good clubman. never missed training & put the tacking in on the field, though during their careers, I don't think I recall 1 tackle bust between the pair of them.
Just about any signing TA made the season after we were relegated, I remember a piece by Dave Fleming in a programme maybe 18 months on from our first game against Keighley when he made the point that every player except one or two who'd played in that first game had left the club by then
Some great posts guys and it shows i'm getting old as i can't believe how many i had forgotten about untill you mentioned them. Anyway a good bit of fun before the nerves start kicking in for the weekend.
When that's out of the way we will have to have the "best" signings ever with a sort of dream team theme so get your thinking caps on.
