Sad news. RIP Laurie.
I went to that game in 1965 against Hunslet and got bitten very badly by the Rugby League bug! Thankfully.

Really sad news. I was right behind the posts as he kicked that goal towards us in the 1965 final.

R.I.P.

This might sound daft but was he the guy who used to bounce up and down on his toes as part of his kicking routine?

I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.
