Another amusing thing I remember from that era is that as soon as he started to look good for us there were loads of opposing fans complaining about the arm padding he had, they said "if he needs that much padding he shouldn't be playing the game". I remember some busybody writing into Boots N All when Stuart Cummings was on it, protesting against it, and Cummings just said well his arm padding is checked by the referee before every game so if there was anything dangerous he would have to change it. Once he joined Saints though and was in a top side the attention was off him and nobody seemed to fuss about his arm guard any more.
Didnt Ian Millward complain about his running style and the dangerous use of the high Knees going into the collision?
then he signed him and nothing more was said!!!
