He had one of the best sidesteps you would ever see and tackled way above his size and weight, Hardly missed a tackle either. He taught David Topliss the art of being a stand off and Toppo was his natural successor. A great, great player.

Best Trinity No 6 I've ever seen - and as pointed out Toppo followed him, so that's how highly I rated Harold.
Nobody had a clue what he was going to do next, least of all him! He also tackled everything that moved!
RIP Harold . Great player, nice bloke.

Harold's playing days were before my time. However I got to know him personally when he ran the newsagents on Dewsbury Road. We'd talk for hours. I'd often catch up with him for a quick chat at matches. I did start to worry for him when I didn't notice him at games this season.

Really sad to see his passing. Whilst I may not have seen him in his prime, like many on here I am proud to have called him a friend.

Rest in peace Harold.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"

If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time.

Before my time but, no doubt on of the true greats of the game and especially Trinity.
Sad loss of a special player.

Yeah....directly opposite Ashleigh Avenue, where I grew up, was gobsmacked when he took it over (although he had retired from playing before I started watching the Mighty Trin), but I still knew who he was :BOW:
Saw him regularly in the Asda with his wife until only a few weeks ago.
R.I.P Harold.
