You can usually find him anywhere near a major Rugby League Fixture sporting his No1's. Old Trafford on 12 October will probably be his next public outing.

The way Rugby was ignored, discouraged, marginalized and mistreated by the then 70's 80's Union hierarchy is staggering in today's world.

"He has worked tirelessly to ensure that rugby league......... is given the same official recognition that dozens of other sports that military personnel take part in - such as football, cricket and tennis - take for granted.
