Cant recall where i heard this story, but it
typifies how hard rugby league players were of years gone by.
The scene was
central park wigan, the game, wigan Vs St.helens. All the talk in the
build up to the game was about the brilliant young saints prop alan
prescott, and how he'd fair against the ageing but still formidable Brian Mctigue..
as the first scrum packed down mctigue reaches up into prescotts jersey
and grabs ahand full of armpit hair, which he yanks out of prescotts
armpit, then politely whispers to prescott.. "nah then lad.. d'ost though
want it hard?.. or d'ost though want easy?"...
tough men..
