Given the predictable degree of patronising contributions from the usual suspects, it seemed apposite to indicate that Leeds new signings for 2012 are both Wakey rejects. Sign of the times I guess.

Buderes wouldn't be the first legendary Australian to play for Wakefield. There was also that guy Welly Loowis back in the 80's.

This is probably how the Wakefield fans like to remember the great man's brief guest stint over here -



while the Leeds fans are left to recall his monumental dummy spit at the officials after the mini brawl that followed Lindsay Gill clobbering Steve Martin late -



that ended with Peter Massey kindly pointing out to the legend where the dressing rooms were situated at Headingley -



Lewis vowed never to return to the club game in the UK after that incident.

Indeed I even remember 3 or 4 of the great Leeds side of the late 60's early 70's being part of a GB team that won the Ashes - Hynes, Shoebottom, Atkinson, Ramsey?

I was there. I can't remember too many times when I've laughed more. In Australia he seemed to be able to ref the games he played in, I'm surprised he never went on to do it officially.

Good looking lad Barry Seabourne wasn't he.

Has anyone ever seen him and Dopey from Disney's "Snow White" in the same room ?
