GREAT NEW SECTION
THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY - 9 pages of Rugby League quotes. CLICK HERE

I have recollections of some of these hard tough (some I considered mad) men that I watched over time, some are players that I was told about, or some I just read about.

They are not listed in what I consider an order of toughness. I have included a pic, and a bit of history on each player.

If you have a player you think worthy of adding to this section, and possible a bit of a yarn about the player then please contact me and I will do my best to include him. If you watched League in this era then you must have your own Hard Men and Hero's. Share them with us. My starting point in time was around the Bumper Farrell, Clive Churchill timespan. (mid 50's)

Each profile is linked to a page where we can all read and share stories about the player. Presently there are over 390 stories about the hardmen. If you have a favorite story, yarn or folklore about a player then just contact me. If it doesn't contravene liable laws then I will include it, C'mon don't be shy. Become part of the Era Run on Team and share your memory.
Cheers
