Nice story about you meeting Roger
Millward in 1990 whilst over here for the test.(See Quigs
entry No1 above) The blokes a legend in East Hull where
he was connected with Hull Kingston Rovers (my team) for 20+
years.
He led us as captain and coach to three championships, a
wembley victory against our rivals from the other side of
the river, and countless other final wins in the John Player,
Premiership and County Cups.
I had the honour of being in his presence a few weeks ago
when he came back to Rovers for an evening of stories and
events from his playing days.
The place was sold out ,this a sign of how people in East
Hull still respect the man.
He was presented with a framed picture of him playing for
the Sharks and also one of him playing for Hull KR.
Its good to know that the man is respected and remembered
on both sides of the globe and I can only say that I´m
glad he finished his playing days with Rovers and not the
Sharks as he was The Greatest ever to pull on the red and
white shirt of Hull Kingston Rovers.
