The Fugitive : Wed Feb 19, 2020 7:08 pm  

Am I a daft old sod (a rhetorical question), am I dreaming,or am I correct in thinking that some years ago there was a one-armed player in Super League? I believe he played in the second row and was a Sheffield Eagles player. If I am remembering correctly can anyone recall his name?

A genuine query - Honest!

I believe his arm was deformed at birth but we certainly had trouble tackling him.

There was ! Now i think he was a winger from australia who went on to play for Trafford Borough, the name Brennan rings a bell but could be wrong.

The name Kerry Gibson aussie played for Runcorn highfield and Springfield Borough who later became Trafford Borough in the season 1986 /87

Spot on, Snowie. The name you mentioned rang a bell so I checked on Google and it WAS Derek Bridgeman, played for Sheffield Eagles.

Goes to show, there's nothing stopping you do what you love if you believe. It's also fantastic the emergence of PDRL & LDRL.

Very true Mick. Also didn't a famous referee from our area only have one kidney?

Yes. He wore a colostomy while still reffing.
One tough guy doing that.
