New inductees to the Hall Of Fame

The back end of the season always sees a raft of retirements. Sad, but time catches up with us all eventually. Two of the big names hanging up the boots this time have spent far longer in the game than anyone could reasonably expect aged 38 and 37 respectively. Young man's game? Maybe not any more.

Brothers Morley and Peacock have given years of service to the game and to this union since promotion from the back row to the front. Standard-bearers both, stalwarts, decent blokes - that's the example we want senior members to set for the younger element. Both these chaps are worthy of their place among the glitterati of the Hall Of Fame and will surely continue to play a role in the promotion of prop-forwardry in the future.

By way of tribute to their glittering careers, here's one of Comrade Morley's big hits:



and about a dozen of Comrade Peacock's:

Hall of Fame

Now then.

An initiative we ought to have taken some time ago, we're looking at putting together a PFU Hall of Fame. To be nominated, a player must have upheld the values of this union and have been retired for a minimum of three years. We've got our own ideas, but we'd be happy to hear from you with your suggestions. Drop us a comment on here or twit the Chairman (is that the right terminology? Check this with the office junior before posting - cheers) and we'll start putting it together over the next few weeks and months.

Thanking you kindly.
