If you could relive one day from your career, which would it be? Winning the Championship Final in 1973 with Dewsbury against Leeds. Their one to seven – John Holmes, Alan Smith, Syd Hynes, Les Dyl, John Atkinson, Alan Hardisty and Keith Hepworth – were all icons, but on the day, we stuffed them. We were a good team. We also got to a Yorkshire Cup Final, a Challenge Cup semi-final and a Floodlit Trophy Final.
You joined Dewsbury in 1968. What were your first impressions of Mike Stephenson and how often did people think you were related? He was an exceptional talent. He had loads of pace for a hooker and he was a great captain. Lots of our moves involved him. We still get on well. Eddie Waring often called us brothers!
