One handed winger : Fri May 19, 2023 8:28 am  

Bit off topic but my sons were telling me about a footless wrestler in states and I told them yheee used to be a winger with I think only one hand, am sure I saw him playing for york against Hunslet, when huslet played at the dog track on elland road. Think he was a price or Pryce ?

Or am I just imagining it?

Derek Bridgeman at Sheffield had a partially paralysed left arm and he used to lodge the ball under it. Good hard player. Never seemed to make a difference to him.

Bridgeman is the only one I know at professional level.
