How could you leave out Lee Oudenryn? The fastest winger ever to beat Martin Offiah after Offiah slipped at a pre-match race in 1993 and then back up to beat to a touring Great Britain side with Kenny leading the way! :D


Could run fast..FULL STOP. That was IT...

This is about characters isn't it. Not about BEST or anything like that...


Ken Thornett (Electrifying, THE MAN)
Ken Foord (Pluck an intercept from anything)
Fred Pickup (A Cumberland Thrower expert with Ivor (nackeroff) Lingard
Ron Boden (Took a pair of thongs, a tee shirt and shorts on a Kangaroo tour and wore Tony Brown clothes. Tony was his room mate and the snappiest dresser of all)
Bob Richards (the master of the stiff arm. Parra's answer to Mike Sullivan)
Bomber Peard (funniest bloke I know)
Terry Reynolds (Long haired..cheeky)
Peter Ryan (came over from Newtown in 1960. Blind in one eye)
Brian Hambly (Grumpy..putting fear into opponents)
Noel Dolton (Tombstone..met him on a cruise last year. Great Character
Billy Rayner (Another of my all time favourites)
Roy Fisher (played 170 games of FIRST grade straight. Blood nut..one of the all time Parra greats.

Reserves
Leo Toohey (another Beau Brummel. I really rated him. I was disappointed when they let him go and signed Ivor Lingard)
Ron Lynch. (Thirsty//Always gave 100%)
Bear O'Reilly (Another character who was always up for a laugh)

Pete, if the photo is already on the internet somewhere, then you can right click on it, choose "View Image" (or Properties), and highlight and copy the location as shown in the browser (or next to Address).

Then when you come here to post in a thread, look for the
insertimage.gif
button above where you're typing, click it and then paste the internet location/address of the photo and click OK.

If it's a photo just from your computer and not on the internet... yeah, that's a bit trickier and it's easy to send 'em through to me. :thumn
