Bit of a shame for me. Lewis played for Trinity at the only time in my life I had no interest in RL. It would be another four years before I even new he'd played for us.
I've seen footage and he looked as good as they say but that's not the same as seeing him in the RWB.
All teams have seen great players before and since. Not many though were undisputed as the greatest player in the world. Quite an achievement for a club that was already in decline.
There can be little doubt the money could have been better spent but in Rock n Roll terms what a way to go!
