I know I have already chosen (Wally Lewis) earlier, but given our current problems in the back row, I had hoped someone might pick Bill Ashurst, who was the equal of Solo in ball-handling but was quicker, sharper and stronger (before his knees went )

Yeah Mike Lampkowski, the only scrum-half I ever saw who could run through prop forwards. The man was phenominally strong and would have progressed into being one of Trinity's great loose-forwards if his career hadn't been cut short by injury.
It such a pity that the advances in knee surgery came too late to prolong the careers of some great Wakey players like Lampkowski and Ashurst.

there are quite alot of players mentioned i would like to bring back, ray price as brilliant, gareth ellis was sorely missed wen he left, wllie poaching was great for us , nigel bell n billy conway will always be remebered fondly by me, but the great wally lewis is the one that ot me hooked to rugby league andwakefield trinity as they were, his bulet pass to his brother scott took my breathe away n i was hooked!! n what he produced in ten games for us was magical even the sending off i remember n laugh at now with the wildman lindsay gill happy memories
I was at primary school when I saw Lewis and TBH remember little of it. I think based on the weaknesses of our squad, it would be a pcak man - one from Price (R), Solo, Pochin or Fritz.
Just for fun though I would love to see a young Nigel Wright (Yorkshire Cup final vintage) playing outside of Broughy. If you would indulge me enough to pair Atkins with a young Alan Hunte in the centres I'd be most obliged also
