Warrington Wolves • Laurie Gilfedder.
One of the greatest...I remember the try he scored for the Pies at Wembley....He gathered the ball around halfway and broke the defence having the Hunslet fullback to beat. He weighed him up, turned on the afterburners and accelerated around him for one of the finest Wembley tries. A memory from closer to home came in the 1980's. I had occasion to collect a pallet of beer from Greenalls. Having no idea where to go I asked a familiar figure in a white coat. It was none other than Gilly. I explained my problem and he put his left arm around my shoulder and gesticulated where I should go. I looked him in the eyes and told him he was one of my heroes in his Wire days....I felt like a giggly schoolgirl chancing upon one of the Bay City Rollers....I don't know who was more embarrassed, me or him.
