| This is a picture of a widnes
fan only known has chopper,who i believe rode a
raliegh chopper bike from widnes to wembley stadium
for charity and during the match climbed on the
posts at the great stadium.
Possibly the first and last rugby league fan to
do this and all for charity.
It was in the seventies during the widnes cup kings
era.
FROM QUIGS. Thanks Widnes Viking. Does any other
one out there remember the story and can enlighten
us more about the episode. Love to hear it. Email
me with the info and I will include it.
From Widnes Viking 5 december 2005
Just a quick word to add on to the Chopper story.
His second name was Smith and was a character well
known around town. Sadly Chopper went to the 'Hall
Of Fame' a couple of years back. They don't seem
to make many characters like him any more. |

Hi, I'd like to add more to fave moments no.59,
'chopper' Smith.
He was a very good friend of my dad's. He was a
lovely, generous man with a great sense of humour
and a big heart.
It was really sad to say goodbye to him.
His christian names were 'John Thomas', which I
always thought the 'chopper' nickname came from!!!
If asked how he got the name, he would never tell.
I printed no.59 for my dad, he'll be made up with
it. Jackie
