Got thinking long and hard about this earlier on. I have only watched Widnes since 94ish, so this may shock you:

Mike Hill (I think his first name was Mike)
Anybody remember this lad, think he was Widnesian, short and very stocky, not overweight but certainly a big lad for such a guy lacking in height. Always punched abover his weight. Seem to remember his tackling was sublime, hardly ever missed one. Real work horse/

What says you widnes fans?






an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!

Doc,when I saw this thread title,one name immediately sprung to mind-Barry Dowd.He was no world beater but a good footballer all the same.Always reliable without setting the world on fire,he was a one club man which you rarely see these days or even then.

John Myler.

Great footballer. Another yard of pace and he'd have been a GB regular in my opinion.






This is why events unnerve me.

Yes,John Myler was a vastly under-rated player.

I always thought Darren Wright was under rated.. If he hadn't had such an exceptional winger outside him he have got a lot more limelight...
