Brian Lockwood was a winner, however, when he became coach at wakey, he got the team committed & playing right, Sammy Sanderson was the half back & Brian player coach at loose forward when his body let him play. But the committe was an interfering type & bought Mike Lambkowski without Brian being told, he was not happy & warned the committe if they continued this behaviour.
The committee wanted " Lampy " to play scrum half & not Sammy, the club sold Sammy to Leeds, thus Brian had enough & left the club. Next up was his No 2 & former playi
ng friend Bill Kirkbride, the rest we know about @ Wembley 79, etc.
Rest in peace Brian, I remember you well !
The committee made the right call but went about it the wrong way.
What a player Mike turned out to be ! Made for rl!
Lockwood was a good old fashioned ball playing prop forward- he had skills that aresimply not evident in todays forwards - different game then of course.
RIP
