Genuine Superstar, but played in a great Widnes side, Doug Laughton`s teams played rugby how we all like to see it played.
Sorenson, Koloto, Faimalo, Grima all South Sea Island boys and backs like Currier, Wright, Offiah, Devereux and Tait with halves/pivots the Hulme brothers, Davies and the best passer of a ball I have ever seen Tony Myler.
We were not in their shadow either at that time, that great cc semi win and I can remember being at Naughton Park one New Year`s day when the crowd was almost silent and Mark Elia scorched in for a try just before HT that barely got a clap. Murphy had Platty propping that day and he had a blinder against that monster pack, we won easily.
Rose tinted glasses and all that nostalgia but I cannot help feeling the game was a better spectacle then.
Enough melancholoy I`m off for a pint.
