Can not argue with you there one of the Leigh greats a sad sad loss .
Very sad news, one of the best fullbacks i have ever seen. Would tackle anything, safe as houses under the high ball. A very brave fullback who got quite a lot of injuries by putting his body on the line week after week. R.I.P. Mick

RIP Mick ..... top fullback in both attack and defence...
Pretty sure Geoff Clarkson passed away a few years ago...
How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Very sad news....I have many happy memories of Mick.
Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.
