I've converted this thread into the actual vote.

Both class centers think we all just need a memory jog now and then!

bugger ¬!

It is reported in the Mail tonight of the death of Brian Sharp on New Years Day. He was 74 and played for Barrow between 1959 and 1963. He played 77 games for Barrow and scored 17 tries. 50 of those games were at stand off. He replaced Willie Horne. By reference to Keiths book he also played 2 games at full back, 13 as winger and 12 as centre. I remember him best as a superb centre.

A fair point in this instance, but what's wrong with a bit of harmless debate? For my own part, I just think, in the spirit of fairness and democracy, that there has to be more than just the two obvious names in the frame otherwise it's not going to be much of a vote! I...

That last shout...........bull, bull, bull!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crowd pleaser but defensively not good and a tad unreliable. In his prime, all Aky had was...

QUOTE (Dave W @ Jan 3 2010, 07:29 PM) As the obvious ones have been suggested, to boost the numbers, I'll throw Adam Hughes's cap into the ring. Although he was only with us for one season - and his appearances were somewhat curtailed by injury - his signing nevertheless represented a significant statement of intent by Des and the BOD. When he did play, he was a superb attacking centre and it could be argued that...

All I can find on Bauer's French venture is that he scored on his debut for Carcassone against Villeneuve. There is also a local newspaper report that doesn't translate well but believe it or not he is quotd as saying that the South of France is a better place to live than Barrow !!!!! Is anybody in email or text contact with him? Would be interesting to see how he is fairing over the channel.

QUOTE (SRC @ Dec 31 2009, 06:04 PM) I have no problem with AFC getting plenty of publicity for their big games. The fact is that they get far more publicity for the big games than the Raiders do. That is what people grumble about (including myself). Of course people can buy their own car stickers and ribbons, but the point is that the Mail issue them for free to AFC fans. The Raiders have been to 2 finals this season and...
