Can't remember seeing Lionel cooper play but anyone who saw Murphy play would never forget him, even allowing for the difference in style of game, he was the best English Halfback i ever saw play the game and i was a big fan of Cas in those days who had the likes of Hardisty.
Regards Thorman , I don't think he got a particularly fair deal on the face of it, But like i was told when i mentioned Brough recently, Thorman is gone Move on.
