    - "Jimmy Harrower was my first favourite player. On his day though he had the crowd drooling in admiration at his skill. Favourite memory. We had a tiny youngster playing - Willie Carlin who got booted by an opponent. Jimmy ran the length of the field and planted one on him. Instant hero status!" (Longtimered on the RAWK forum).
