I knew of him, I suppot Milford so didn' t really see him play. But I beleive he was well know around the traps as a" hardman".Some of my old Brudenell school mates played with him at the Queens.Seemed to remember he had a head made for radio.

Yes,he certainly did ! I'm hoping to play masters rugby for either Milford or East Leeds this summer.How is Brisbane ? I was there in Nov 2008 for the rugby. Stayed in Vulture Street near the cricket ground. One helluva storm while we were there ! blew my washing half way up the street !

Mate ,your right last time I saw Kevin he certainly had put the beef on.Another team mate of Kevin is Big Roy Dickinson, I ran into him at the world cup here in Brisbane. I think he was leading a tour party.Tom Kelly ex Milford player was with him at Suncorp Statium .I beleive Roy still hangs around the Leeds area and is often in the supporters club.Cheers Y
