    We signed Dave Tanner from Fylde. There was another Dave Tanner playing for Orrell at the same time, who was the leading try scorer in the country.

    TBF the one we signed didn't let us down

    Wasn't that the time, which made the national press, the Murph was asked to leave the Fylde clubhouse. They must have been worried about spreading Rugby League germs.

    I think we honestly went scouting Mark Preston at Fylde but got the wrong player when we signed Dave Tanner. Tanner was OK but Preston was lightening

    That's my admittedly addled memory of it. I'm sure that's was also a story at the time that we went to Wales to look at international centre Mark Ring only to sign Mike Carrington.

    I seem to recall that we were scouting Peter Morgan from Welsh RU and ended up signing Clive Griffiths on the back of him coming off the bench against England and scoring a try.

    He didn't have the best of times at Saints. His debut against Widnes didn't go well, he was at Full back, Stuart Wright the Wines winger broke down the wing, twisted Griffiths all ways, Griffiths turned his back on Wright and completely lost him.

    About 20 mins later Wright does the same again and Griffiths again loses him, fortunately George Nicholls was covering across, he hit Wright with a full blooded tackle and put him into touch.

    Nicholls then walked back and glared at Griffiths as if to say "that's what you're supposed to do"
