The word ‘Legend’ is banded about far too often for my liking, but this bloke is greatest ever Wakefield Trinity player.

Well done Big Neil, thoroughly deserved.

Civic recognition for his efforts beyond anything else.

He can also have free Wensleydale Cheese from Morrisons every 5th Wednesday when there is a full moon in the month of Ferbruary! Or something like that!

I think he can graze his sheep in the city centre and has the right to take his pigs accross Chantry Bridge.

It is a true travesty of the 'honours' system that Neil Fox was only awarded an MBE.

As the greatest points scorer in the history of Rugby League, one of the finest players ever produced in this country and a true ambassador of the game, in any other sport that would have been honoured by a knighthood.
