Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Terry Price was far more than a good goalkicker, he was a very talented full back, I once saw him lose his rag after an incident one Boxing Day at Thrum Hall against Halifax and proceeded to tear them to pieces. Also a good prop who was signed the same time as Stuart Gallacher was Brian Butler. I believe they both came North after leaving the same RU club in Wales in the early 70s. Butler left Northern after a few seasons and became a very good prop with Warrington I believe.
Berwyn Jones was the fastest man in RL at the time having been in the Olympic 100m relay team. I remember him scoring a brilliant length of the field try against Wakefield at Headingley in the Challenge Cup, probably about 1966.
Always remember Brian Butler and Alex Murphy (then with Leigh) having a punch-up and getting an early bath. Butler was twice Murphy's size but Murphy was twice as nasty - he got a lot of stick as they climbed up beside the old stand to the dressing rooms at the top. Liked Butler as a prop a lot and sorry he didn't stay with us longer.
