How old was he? Watching the match like I watched it yesterday. Nostalgia I guess, but the game did seem much better those days and unpredictable with 'contested' scrums ..John Holmes, Les Dyl, Dave Heron, Kevin Dick, Neil Hague...all my "heroes". Never won a bloody thing though

Mick was my hero as a lad growing up in Widnes, he had everything, good hands, a great kicking game, was as tough as teak and always played fair.
A sad loss.
As for people saying Wright bottled it in the corner, don't forget in those days you couldn't dive and take out the corner stick while scoring as you can now.

Will be tough being another prop down. At risk of thread drift - just wondered where the Mick Adams thread went.
Worried I dreamt it, we did on Friday did'nt we?

Didn't see the Mick Adams thread but he was in large part responsible for the cruelist of cruel blows to Leeds and it's fans one Saturday afternoon in Swinton. The next day Jack Wainwright on Radio Leeds said 'I hope all you Leeds fans have got over your disapointment.'
Just about gotten over it now but will never ever forget it.

Agree, cruellest defeat I have seen. IIRC Leeds played Widnes at home in the league on either the following Wednesday or 10 days later and Mick Adams landed another bomb on the bar and they scored again.
However, may be wrong, long time ago. |

Been moved to the virtual terrace for some utterly unfathomable reason. Most irritating. |
