Pryce straight in having just got off the plane seems wild to me, but needs must I guess; nothing to lose lol
only what Peter Stirling once did by mind you .............
If I remember he got MOM to
When I was stood at Wakefield, two weeks ago, my mind drifted back to that afternoon in late '83 (as it always does every time I visit Belle Vue). I was behind the posts in 1983, where the new stand now resides.
Sterling making his debut for us, Lewis for Wakefield! Like Wilf says, the pair of them barely off the plane before running out. Don't think I have ever been at a game where two players were so dominant in the minds of every single person in the crowd that afternoon.
For everyone now under the age of about 55, it's difficult to put across how incredible it was to see those two players run out in darkest West Yorkshire that afternoon. They could have flown in from Mars, so astonishing it was to witness.
Unquestionably two of the greatest players in RL history, they stand comparison with anyone you could care to mention.
Probably a touch unfair on Pryce to compare him to Sterlo, but if he has anything like the same impact then we're onto a winner here. One thing's for sure, he will enter Fc folklore if he pulls out something special on Saturday afternoon, so no pressure on the lad then!!!!
I was at that game which was amazing seeing sterling and lewis on the field together but i had thought it was a night match? May not have been, I was only 14 at the time
Just looked it up and it was a Sunday but early December so was probably dark anyway.
I only really remember seeing lewis throw out these long passes missing a couple of players out. That was back in the day when the seasons didn't align and fussiest would come 9ver for their off season and English players do the same down under
I was there too. I remember Lewis throwing a 30 yard pass and the crowd were just transfixed. It never happened in those days. I’ve seen him play since and watched footage. He could play every position with aplomb.He's the best player I’ve ever seen. Not sure we can expect that impact from Pryce but feel he could make an impact
