Pryce straight in having just got off the plane seems wild to me, but needs must I guess; nothing to lose lol
only what Peter Stirling once did by mind you .............  If I remember he got MOM to When I was stood at Wakefield, two weeks ago, my mind drifted back to that afternoon in late '83 (as it always does every time I visit Belle Vue). I was behind the posts in 1983, where the new stand now resides. Sterling making his debut for us, Lewis for Wakefield! Like Wilf says, the pair of them barely off the plane before running out. Don't think I have ever been at a game where two players were so dominant in the minds of every single person in the crowd that afternoon. For everyone now under the age of about 55, it's difficult to put across how incredible it was to see those two players run out in darkest West Yorkshire that afternoon. They could have flown in from Mars, so astonishing it was to witness. Unquestionably two of the greatest players in RL history, they stand comparison with anyone you could care to mention. Probably a touch unfair on Pryce to compare him to Sterlo, but if he has anything like the same impact then we're onto a winner here. One thing's for sure, he will enter Fc folklore if he pulls out something special on Saturday afternoon, so no pressure on the lad then!!!! I was at that game which was amazing seeing sterling and lewis on the field together but i had thought it was a night match? May not have been, I was only 14 at the time Just looked it up and it was a Sunday but early December so was probably dark anyway. I only really remember seeing lewis throw out these long passes missing a couple of players out. That was back in the day when the seasons didn't align and fussiest would come 9ver for their off season and English players do the same down under | | | |

May not have been, I was only 14 at the time I also attended the Wakefield Vs FC, in which 'Sterlo' and 'King Wally' made their debuts., alongside Wally's brother Scott.Sterlo was outstanding as always, but my abiding memory, was the best rugby pass, I've ever seen by any Rugby player in any code.There was a scrum on the left side, very close to the touchline, ,it was Wakefield s head and feed, the ball came out to Wally Lewis, he flung out a pass from the left touchline, the whole width of the pitch, to his brother Scott, who was standing on the right wing, and simply dived over in the corner.
I've never seen a pass like it since, I doubt it I ever will again. | | |

If anyone’s interested
Enter a legend and a Wally!
Sunday 4th December 1983 Hull 32-Wakefield Trinity 16
There are times in the course of being a life-long follower of one Club when you remember that on a particularly significant occasion, “You were there”. There when it happened, there when history was made and there when you simply couldn’t imagine being anywhere else in the world. Often it’s Cup Finals and critical, last gasp, wins in successful seasons that offer these fleeting glimpses of perfection, but sometimes it’s just about a monumental episode in the history of your Club. That day at Belle Vue was for me at least, one such occasion. There we were stood amongst around 4000 Hull fans on the open Western Terrace frantic with expectation, as out ran Hull FC and Peter Sterling, his hands swathed in bandages and his long blonde hair blowing in the wind. Of course, all the talk in the West Riding City was about Wally Lewis making his debut for Trinity but in the end it was Hull FC that spoilt the party, as led by Sterling we took the home team apart.
After just a couple of days in the Country and at just 22, Sterling produced a magnificent debut to lead us to victory. Our team that day was a mix of young and old, as the continuing injury crisis at the Club bit into our reserves of playing strength. Without six regular first teamers and several players that were on International duty, Hull knitted together surprisingly well and Keith Tindall, at 36, and returning after 15 months absence, was a revelation. Indeed we even had a Trialist winger playing on the right.
However, it was Sterling that ran the show and despite a bright opening from an obviously inspired Wakefield side, he took all the plaudits at the end of the day. Lewis was outstanding in the first quarter particularly when executing some brilliant cut out passes to set up attacks (one of which I swear cut out four players and went like a bullet) and we soon trailed 8-0 before Phil Edmonds scored a try off a brilliant ‘scissors’ pass from Sterling. Then Mick Crane opened Wakefield up with a massive side step and sent Evans racing on an arc and in for a try, but a Geary try right on half time saw the scores tied at 16-16 at the break.
The second half was all Hull as Dannett, Evans and Banks scored tries, each of which was engineered by Sterling. Lewis retired after 70 minutes, but ‘Sterlo’ played out the whole game, as we ran out winners 32-16. It was a moment to savour as our new hero came over to receive the adulation of us fans and I can still see him now waving to us all, before taking the bindings off his hands and throwing them into the crowd. Despite only playing 8 games in that spell at the Club and a further 28 the following season, we’d see a lot more of Peter Sterling who was to become a legend of the FC.
The early part of 1984 saw him leading Hull to success on the field as we went on a seven match unbeaten run. Sterling was an instant hero with all the fans and quickly became a local personality, being followed everywhere (even on his regular visits to the local casino) by an entourage of autograph hunters and ladies. He was a real hero who I always wanted to meet and I had my wish granted one night in the Casino when after numerous pints I came face to face with him and said, “Your Peter Sterling” to which he replied, “I know” and that was it really.
