RUGBY LEAGUE GREAT DIES​

Dementia has claimed the life of another former rugby league star - Roy Ferguson.

Ferguson was a glamour boy in the 1960s and '70s and was the first man to play 100 games for two clubs - St George and Western Suburbs.

Originally from the NSW Central Coast, he played for the Dragons in the 1975 grand final.

Ferguson, aged 77, fought the horrible disease for several years before passing away last weekend.

A host of former stars are expected to attend his funeral in coming days.

Roy had a reputation as one of the toughest competitors of the game during his playing career. He played 101 first grade games for Wests and 100 first grade games for St. George, making him the first player to play 100 first grade games for two clubs, and he scored 54 first class tries in his career.

Rest in Peace Roy.

Sad , very sad news . He was a great centre for the Magpies and the Dragons and ever so reliable in defence , use to knock the stuffing out of the opposition with some tremendous tackling .

Rest easy Roy , you have left us with some wonderful memories .

I remember him very fondly as a young kid, he was a very powerful centre with the biggest thighs.
He was not a tall man , but all muscle in the lower body.
RIP Roy to another great Saint
