Berwyn Jones he could shift a bit and Price was a pretty good goal kicker from what I remember.

Terry Price was far more than a good goalkicker, he was a very talented full back, I once saw him lose his rag after an incident one Boxing Day at Thrum Hall against Halifax and proceeded to tear them to pieces. Also a good prop who was signed the same time as Stuart Gallacher was Brian Butler. I believe they both came North after leaving the same RU club in Wales in the early 70s. Butler left Northern after a few seasons and became a very good prop with Warrington I believe.

Berwyn Jones was the fastest man in RL at the time having been in the Olympic 100m relay team. I remember him scoring a brilliant length of the field try against Wakefield at Headingley in the Challenge Cup, probably about 1966.

Always remember Brian Butler and Alex Murphy (then with Leigh) having a punch-up and getting an early bath. Butler was twice Murphy's size but Murphy was twice as nasty - he got a lot of stick as they climbed up beside the old stand to the dressing rooms at the top. Liked Butler as a prop a lot and sorry he didn't stay with us longer.
