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

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!

Found this name Derick Bridgeman

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

Second row.
Pretty good player.

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