I dont know what you are laughing at. Mild Rovers disclosure that the "fat lad" has a kicking game may well tempt Agar into offering him a deal. Plus with Lauaki injured you are a fat lad down. :wink:

Its the kicking on the sixth tackle when playing unlimited that made me chuckle!

Must admit the fat lad kicking early had me thinking it was your modern day hooker MR was refering to... :D






If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...

checked my book and no Stovin in for FC

Must be something in the AUP about calling a moderator a fat lad. :)

Mild Rover wrote:Barrington signed for Hull KR from Motley Rangers in 1936. His signing on fee was 7 shillings, a patty supper and six pence. Considered 'quite quick for a fat lad', he was a player ahead of his time in many respects, often kicking away possession on the sixth in these days of unlimited tackles - much to the chagrin of Rovers fans.

Sadly the Second World War curtailed his career. He is now 95 years old and lives in a residential care home, but he still enjoys a patty and an occasional milk stout. Hull FC are rumoured to be interested in securing his services for the 2011 season.


:LOL: Marvelous stuff, good old Barrington. Broke the mold with that one.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

You're right mate, been watching them on a semi regular basis since 1978. Been to more games at the old craven park than most of your current fans, seen your club at wembley more than most of your current fans, and was also present at your 1st game at the new craven park.

More of a dobbin than most of the dobbins :lol: :lol:

Anymore of that and you will be taking a prolonged break from posting on this board.

Sorry to disappoint, but there is neither a Stovin or Judd in the records. Possibly junior or 'A' team players?

Games played during the Wars are not included in the records, also.
